[Uncle Chip]

Parsing of words is a pretty old trick to try to make a case, but I’m sorry, it won’t work.

Like that trick of trying to change just one little word to make the text say what you want it to -- Halloween is over -- no treat for you.

“Like that trick of trying to change just one little word to make the text say what you want it to...”

Oh, you mean, for example, changing “this” generation to mean “that” generation and “near” to mean “2,000 plus years from now”?

I’ve seen a lot of that from people who are “anxious for Armageddon,” and it sure works for them — just well enough to make the Bible say what they want it to.
