I confess I was probing how far the surface meaning of servanthood
can be pressed on the average person such as yourself.  Your
reply shows a healthy skepticism.

Because I am trained in Thiering pesher, I myself take an
exhaustive look at (let's say) John 13:4 on her Pesher of
Christ website.  In this demanding discipline the verse is
translated carefully from the Greek, as opposed to any ordinary
English Bible for average laypeople, to mean =91Himself=92 was girded
for the footwa****ng.

At this point the scholar pulls a rabbit out of a hat.  She says
"footwa****ng" means the purification of the jars used for the village
common property and identifies Himself as Simon Magus.

Now I must break off because I remember my reply
to Yowie and Ian Davis about my policy not to do Thiering
on SRQ anymore.

Howsoever, you can now understand how (well-meaning)
propaganda is spread in church circles that is not true
to the deeper meaning of the text.

Caveat - only those SRQers who are interested should
probe into deeper meaning.  I do not mean to push it
on people, only to expose them to an unfamiliar but
better informed perspective.
