Richard,
In your response, you assume a lot of things about my
questions that I did not intend. I won't bother to
address them point by point, because it seems beside
the point.

I think this is a matter of semantics and misses my
point since it puts an interpretation on my question
that wasn't there. To use your analogy, how does the
Bible Wheel show more ways in which the Bible can be
used to take people to the hospital, provide food, and
so forth in a way that was not the case before the
Bible Wheel?
I suspect this will be my last question and post on
the subject. Thanks for the answers.
