beads,
Sorry for the delay in responding. Personal circumstances including the death of my mother on 4-20-05 have interfered with my time and motivation to be involved in deep biblical discussion. In fact today is the first time for a while that I have even desired to read a forum. My concentration, which is poor even at its best, is such that it will take me longer than usual to answer. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
