HH: I am not following your logic. I don't disagree with Jesus. The 
Sanhedrin in Jesus' day had approximately the same authority to lead the 
nation that Moses did in his day. It was also the official guardian of 
the Law, which Moses gave.

HH: B-Hebrew software drops the blank lines I insert between comments. 
The quote was from Michael Abernathy earlier today. I  included that 
information in my post, but it is scrunched up in the previous comment.
