Yes. I would imagine that this (and what you wrote earlier) was the reasoning behind why Esther didn't make the Jewish "Canon" until well into the third century. The Greek "additions" added some interesting comments and made the writing more relevant to religious use.
How are you Joe? Haven't seen you for a while.
Thanks for asking. I have been fine. I have withdrawn from many of these discussions, as they don't seem to go anywhere rather quickly. So rather than arguing back and forth, I have decided to just drop out on some of these discussions.
Enjoying the beautiful Arizona weather - and now I have a ton of yard work to do!
I hope all is well with you, as well.
Brother in Christ
When I lived in Arizona my yard was all cactus, sand and sage brush. I let the Tarantulas, Scorpions and Rattlesnakes take care of it!

Don't do that. You'll only encourage others to speak for you....and I'd rather talk to you.

Joe.....don't look upon it as arguing. Call it a heated discussion. I know that I'll never convince someone as devoted as you, to your faith....of your error....but I know for a fact I have convinced others who were fence sitters. There will be some you will convince also....to your side, and when we meet in the resurrection it will be interesting to hear the Saviour's comments about where we all could have done better.
Blessings to you and yours.
