FROM THE B-HEBREW STAFF

Once again, folks, let's reign in the discussion.  b-hebrew does not 
exist to decide the attributes of God.

Let me clarify:  In searching out a better understanding of the Hebrew 
text of the Tanakh, we may teach and learn the attributes of God along 
the way.  On the other hand, the topic "the attributes of God" shall not 
be the primary and only topic of a thread.  This is not a religion chat 
room.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,
Bryan Rocine
