 You are right, scholarly and true (emunah in Hebrew thought) as opposed to 
true (consistent with fact in Greek thought) are not the same. I defer to you 
on this, Peter. Do I think it is also true in both thought systems, yes. But, 
I acknowledge that not everyone will see it this way even though many 
biblical scholars do. Secular biblical scholars will not and do not. Anything 
kabbalistic is cause for dismissal in their minds. i used to see it that way, 
too, once upon a time. :-)
 
 Best regards,
 David Fenton

 Gal. 27-29: For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed 
yourselves with Moshiach. There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is 
not eved (servant) nor ben chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor 
nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua/Yeshua. And, if 
you belong to Moshiach (YESHAYAH 53:10), then you are of the ZERAH of Avraham 
Avinu, you are yoreshim (heirs) according to the havtachah (promise).
