Bless you a thousand times! I scarcely know enough to try to defend it, but it is very nice to read when a brother says he’d like to find out what’s wrong with it before he attacks it.
Why thank you. May He bless and keep you and yours.
I noticed a reference to the “Apocryphal” book of Maccabees (I think there are two books). I have an Oxford Bible, but have only read the Daniel-era non-canonized books. Great literature, Divine or not.
