All these different opinions and translations are a result of interpreting a spiritual book with Aristotelian logic, rather than Hebrew style thinking. The Greek mindset (intellectualism, in which we are steeped) has fractured a cohesive communication of love from our Father into all kinds of manmade interpretations and opinions.

"Hebrew style thinking" is not the only legitimate style of thinking. I think the relationship with Hellenic thought was fruitful, and even Providential, and you can see this beginning right in the Book of Acts and the Epistles of Paul.

Contact between Hebrew religious thought and MANY other kinds of thinking is terrifically exciting. I'm with Matteo Ricci on this one. Salvation is being offered to all, even those who think like Mandarins, Hopis, Timorese, Punjabis, Mongols, and Cyberpunks.

Agreed!
