Dr. E to Mark: Weren't you one of the RCs awhile back who peculiarly asserted that the Sermon on the Mount was only spoken to the apostles and not to the "throngs" who had assembled with them to hear Jesus speak?

No I did. And I still do. One does not address the crowds sitting down.

Have you been there?

I have.

Would have been very easy for him to sit and address the crowds—just sitting on the upper side of the hill.

Had he been sitting on a prominent rock, all the easier.

I continue to be amazed at your . . . unique . . . perspectives on Biblical, historical and geographical realities.

KOSTA: No, I did.

Well, Kosta, I think Mark has already said it was he who first posted that remark to me, and I do recall his and my conversation about just who exactly was the audience for the Sermon on the Mount.

If you agree with Mark now that Christ was Only addressing the apostles and not the eager throngs who were assembled to hear Him as Scripture tells us, then that makes two of you who believe that.
