Worthy points, I’m sure.

I do like the way the Message “brings the hay down out of the loft where the cows can get it” as my old teen pastor might put it.

I think Peterson achieved his goal of it reading in English with the flavor of the vernacular and earthy boldness of the original Hebrew and Greek. I find that flavor and the God of Abraham speaking in that flavor a more robust version of the God I’ve known all along.

I’m now reading the English translated from the Aramaic NT. Interesting.

The Peshetta translated by I don't remember. There was an online version, and I was chatting with someone somewhere and they noted that the story of the woman who was to be stoned for commiting adultery was added. It's in all of mine, of course.

Well, it wasn't in the Peshetta scriptures but there were remarkable similarities of other verses.

We should take note of the details. It is interesting that Netanyahu gave a scroll, not book, scroll of Esther to our leader. Hmmmm.

This morning the first news item I saw on my isp was about Sharon who is still on life support. Someone was arguing that he wouldn't have wanted to live that way. He's been like that since about 2006, almost 6 years now.
