That's understandable. It proves there is little benefit to looking at the words in a vacuum, apart from the context of Scripture.

Letting scripture interpret scripture is the key to understanding the word of God.

None of which serves to be anything other than self-admiration. Care to answer the query?

I know that me asking is of little importance, but I think malakhi might deserve an answer.

I think malakhi might deserve an answer.

(The implication, of course, being that I think otherwise. How thoughtful.)

I believe I gave him the answer last Friday. Thinking he might have missed it, I pointed him to it again today.

At any rate, I would expect that if I neglected to answer him, he would have asked again (certainly without the pompous allegations).
