We don�t need to squabble about those again. Izzy And you question the use of "imagination?"  You make assertions about manuscripts that do not exist.   I can go with thought inspiration quicker than "verbal plenary."   Word for word  dictation would eliminate the personalities of the individual authors  --  which is not the case.  Your last sentence indicates a desire to avoid further discussion.   Alrighty then.  JD   Dear JD,   Please be notified that the FIRST copy of scripture, written by the FIRST writer (ie: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) was THE ORIGINAL.  There definitely WAS one, whether you have a copy in your sweaty little hand or not.   Love, Izzy
