The whole key to understanding why Lance,
John, and Jonathan are so intent on getting everyone’s “favourite”
reading list is this: In most Christian circles when someone meets you and
wants to figure out what theological box to put you into they ask, “Where
do you go to church?”. If you say Baptist, or Pentecostal, or RCC,
they immediately know whether they think you are saved and what your errors
are. With the Defensive Three all they want to know is what you READ so
they can do the same. Why? Because what you read means more to them than
where you fellowship. It tells them what you think, and therefore they can size
you up based upon that. Izzy

Good list and I thankyou as well. Comfort, Brown and Douglas
are the translators of the interlinear I use. Same appreciation for
Young's over Strong's. Green is good IMO. Gives me some
confidence with the listings I am not familar with. Thanks again.
