Y'know, I don't think I'm going to discuss scripture anymore. Why bother? Never mind that we Jews might have reasons for believing as we do, that we might have reasons for disagreeing with Christian interpretations of our own scripture. It's all just "spin".

You know I've never been a fan of dismissing other's arguments and beliefs as "spin." I get it continually from some elements here. And, no, it doesn't feel good.

My choice seems to be A) to be regarded as spiritually blind, or B) to be regarded as perfidious.

Or C) part of God's plan in a way we don't fully understand. That's what the Ratzinger document is saying about the Jews waiting for the Messiah.

I am not aware of malakhi spinning. I know you will spin and you know you will spin.

I am rarely engaged in spinning. I know when I am. Most of the time it is simply trying in vain, for the umpteenth time to explain something that has already been explained before. In the hope that a light will turn on in someone's mind. For instance, this nonsense about ands and ors I know we went through before. You retained nothing of what I said. Not a thing. And you still miss the commas and the idea of a subordinate, dependent clause. Yet, I go on, as someone out there may benefit from what I see as your attempt to "spin" the Church's words.

You've been a pretty good boy lately though. (You are still on my "watch" list). :-)
