I miss the Iz I once defended -- since the political exchanges, you have contributed precious little to this forum. This "key to understanding " the Defensive Three was started by one of your buds, the well read Mr Slade but he is not included in your little tyraid -- your bias is now more accurately defined as bigotry. We patiently await the return of the real Linda Shields.

If you'd read what Jonathan said that I said concerning you in a couple of his recent posts you'd immediately apologize.I do believe I said this in a post sent to you directly, did I not?
What is it with you Iz do you just set out some days to piss some people off?
Please make an effort to be a little more thoughtful.
----- Original Message -----The whole key to understanding why Lance, John, and Jonathan are so intent on getting everyoneâs âfavouriteâ 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, âWhere do you go to church?â. 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.
