Does the serious scholarly discussion of Biblical Hebrew entail lifting
your nose and wagging your finger at other people who may not be as learnt
as you in the field?  I would hope that the rest of the people on this
list, and there are some very kind and helpful ones, would not cross over
into this kind of Biblical-elitism. Funny that you protest denouncing
another persons belief system on this forum, but will openly
criticize/denounce me for not being able to keep up with the some of the
messages because I have not learnt the same way you have, or have been
taught the way you have. 

Would you like it if I apologized for not being as intelligent as others
here, pastor?
