Sorry but the Son of God doesn't get excuses. >> I'll have to question you on the sword reference.

You see that he is saying that I am going to CHANGE the way things are. 39 & 40 give us the glimpse of what Jesus is intending. If we get the concept we should share it with others. > Or to Luke: > 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, > and shoes, lacked ye any thing?

It was easy for you while I have been here but after I leave things are going to change. Be prepared for a different crowd because you disciples are going to cause a ruckus where ever you go and people will want to kill you. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
