Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 I politely agree with Dale's sentiments. He did not call you Satan, a satan, which I think he explained his reasons well. I have a question though. ____________________ Dawn, I agree also. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, so please don't get me wrong because I don't mean it this way at all. But a " satan, " the whole original meaning before there was such a thing as the English language is from the Hebrew, which means to attack, accuse, be an adversary. If one takes on those attributes, then they could possibly be called a satan. Plus, I know this is Scriptures, but there's not one satan. In the Scriptures it calls this body of beings " ha-satan, " which means " the satan, " which means there's more than one. Yes, I understood Dale. We have such a fine group of people here looking for knowledge on how to help heal our illness. We do have that. BTW, I'm thankful that you're feeling better. Whether one has surgery or not is not the issue, because no matter how hard some of us may try, we may have to have it also. At least we can give support.

I have a question though. Do you have gallbladder problems? If not, are you doing anything or using any methods from this group to preserve the health of your gallbladder? Just curious.

It is simply neant to keep you in the center of attention, and detract from the purpose of the list. Let's move on, please.

I could tell you what it means in ancient languages, but that's not the point, since not a single one of you would understand these languages. Words mean what the general public uses them to mean, and no amount of t6wisting and turning can change that. --------------------------- IRA L. JACOBSON --------------------------- mailto:laser@...
