And yet, the New Testament saw fit to Hellenize the name....? Perhaps the Anglicization is not such a bad thing?

And have I ever said it was? :^)

But I would challenge yout consider trying a few of your essays without the Hebraisms. I bet you will see see it makes them less distracting.

Again, I'm not seeing all that many people who find them distracting and bothersome. In fact, quite a few seem to like it. Those that object are pretty much confined to one small circle who have already decided in their minds that I'm a heretic and are just looking for nits to pick.

Because you've asked in love and lateral respect, I'll definitely consider your request in prayer--though I'll say that it was prayerful consideration that led me to start up the Hebraisms in the first place. But until and unless the Spirit leads me to change my practice, I'd greatly appreciate it if everyone would just accept it as one of my little quirks and actually comment on the substance of my arguments.

I don't think that's unreasonable.

Post #120: Simple fact of the matter is that you've always been good to correspond with, and while I disagree with you, its based on ideas, not personality. Your insights have always been interesting, even if from different assumptions than mine.

Ditto, my friend.

Well, when you put it that way, I'd have to say "okay". Nothing wrong with quirky, I like quirky. Thanks for pinging me by the way.
