Re: Addendum: a holy spirit

Wow!  I had no intention of starting yet another flame.  My apologies
to all who took offense where none was intended.  It seems as though
a discussion of the Scripture of any faith is taboo, since it always
leads to someone taking umbrage.

For the record, I am a Roman Catholic priest with an M.A. in theology
(with a concentration in Scripture) and an M.A. in comparative
religions.  However, I am not a professional scholar or teacher, but
merely the pastor of three small parishes in the Blue Ridge Mountains
of the Diocese of Richmond, VA.  The study of Sacred Scripture, like
that of linguistics, has its schools of thought.  It is virtually
impossible, at least in the study of Scripture, for all the scholars
to have a concensus on the meaning of various passages.

Having said this, I will now cease and desist from responding to any
other messages that touch upon religion.  It seems safest this way,
lest ire by raised again within the group.
