   Friend james acting on behalf of the jw vatican could not answer if the   
   water Moses parted was the "red sea"; given the hebrew text.   
      
   He had also demanded the greek word for simple"pole" in the NT confirmed   
   the jw vatican theory that a secret conspiracy in the 4th century changed   
   the meaning of "pole" to "crosss reflecting a "pole" with a crossbar".   
   That is a historical theory and easily tested.   
      
   2nd century church fathers using the the same NT greek word for "pole" said   
   it had a crossbar upon which Christ was nailed through His hands.  The jw   
   vatican historical secret conspiracy is false.  and fails the test of   
   history.   
      
   Here we give friend james another chance to show the jw vatican has crack   
   scholors of biblical languages and 1st century history of bible   
   cultural and social matters in which the NT was embedded..  One must have a   
   good grasp of all of it to understand NT writings.   
      
   Was Christ a Carpenter given NT greek?
