Re: [asa] On Job

Vernon,

Sorry, this is a complete non sequitur.

You hold that 1 Tim 3:16 is true - that "all scripture is inspired by God",
but somehow if the words were said by Jesus then they are allowed to be
non-historical, where the rest of scripture isn't allowed to be
non-historical? Jesus is God, so I don't see the distinction you're trying
to draw.

Don't get it. Sorry.

Iain
