He has the more negative “ woman, what have I to do with you “. How do we know Jerome was correct…in citing an idiom that David uses, Eliseus uses, and a demon in the gospel uses? Because Eliseus uses it just prior to miraculously producing water in wadis for the Israelite army….and the water looks red to the distant Moabites. I am sure that Jesus discussed with Mary…the Eliseus miracle just days prior to Cana.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15178007.post-44414214400977626672013-01-16T20:35:35.548-05:002013-01-16T20:35:35.548-05:00Check out pp. 11-12 of the story "The

"Every time I would . . .<br />go by his office, which he called it his study<br />(that comes from going to the Seminary, too,<br />in my opinion) to discuss the way I personally <br />was interpreting something I'd read in the <br />Bible, he'd wind up rolling his eyes extra patient <br />like and saying, "Whatever" . . .markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644908598349358844noreply@blogger.com
