Sandy,

They’re not terribly concise, but I usually start on wikipedia and then fan out to the references from there…

Honestly, up until a few month ago I though "armenian" had something to do with a state in Turkey. Kind of like when I moved to Louisiana and couldn't understand everyone's obsession with Angola, only to discover it was the state prison, not the African nation.

Chris,
I’m really confused – am I commenting on this article before or after I’ve read it?

This is what happens when finite men attempt to unravel infinite myteries as if they had complete and personal revelations. There is never an admission of uncertainty because as with the SAT's all questions must be answered. Like viewing the majesty of the Alps and then using algebra to communicate them to someone, much of the verbal descriptions of the sacred mystery of the workings of God's Spirit not only lacks any sense of awe, they boast of much that they actually know not of. I believe I have more to learn than when I was first saved because much of what I learned must be relearned. Chris – let me repeat what I wrote on FTA.
