If you read me carefully and in context you will not have any problem understanding my meaning.

Meanwhile, I leave it as an exercise to the reader to observe how AF is deriving a meaning exactly opposite to what I actually said. You, the reader, will doubtless find it instructive.

Peace,

You had written, to me, "Appalling, yes, but perfectly consistent with the anthropo-cratic impulses of Rome. This lurch toward a spirit of murder is just the seed in full flower. The analytical shallowness of the attempt to justify these murders based on Scripture is breathtaking. The question of proper jurisdiction defeats every one of them. Easily. "

It is my understanding of your words that you accused me of a shallow attempt to justify these murders. Ananias and Sapphira, and the unnamed Corinthian were those I mentioned, with references to the prophets of Baal and those he, most likely, will kill in Revelation. And for this do you accuse me, and perchance God himself, of a spirit of murder ? Bad form.
