This will be a (hopefully short) two point message. Firstly J. J. from Illinois was responding the debated contradiction in acts about Christ's appearance to Paul. Not getting into the issue here, I would be curious to know what HEBREW sources he was looking at. It hardly seems a slip, he repeated it several times. The original New Testament writings are in GREEK. (Sorry to bother everybody with this but had to get it off my chest). Secondly, I'd like to put a plug for the Moderate Majority. That is all those Christians out there who, while they agree with what Dave Lee believes, and deplore Jerry Fallwell as much as I (and anybody I know) do, but are staying out of the recursive flaming. I just want to make sure that the impression that is appearing that all Christians are rabid, fanatical, agressive, insensitive, simple minded, etc. people who try to convert everybody they meet, whether they are interested or not is untrue. As per usual, it's the vocal majority (sorry, that should be >minority<) that is setting the tone. This is not to criticize anyone (Christian or non-Christian) in particular, but from reading the rather intense messages from both sides, that impression (if not stereotype) could easily come to reside in some people's minds.
