Is this list of definitions agreeable? revelation Disclosure, exposure, unveiling or telling of something that was previously hidden or unknown. As applied to religious matters, it is the making known the previously unknown character, nature and precepts of God that can only be understood by those attributes being spoken by God through a prophet appointed by Him. Revelation is usually applied to the miraculous diclosure of information to a prophet by God, rather than through the results of study in which knowledge is acquired that was not previously understood. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain Five email lists...
