I'm going to, hermeneutics or no hermeneutics, agree with you. (unless someone knocks it out of me) There is just too much there. I do know for sure that "spiritualization" and allegory of the Scripture has caused much heresy and grief among Christians.

Our Pastor awhile ago gave us a sermon in Genesis about Joseph. He said that Christian scholars had found over 300 different parallels between the life of Joseph and the advent of our Christ. These parallels (or types) are touched but hardly completely so in the New Testament.

I won't mention the thread but this idea of the wealth and richness in the O. T. types has got me into a lot of trouble in the past here on the highway, and I was still only half convinced. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bash.gif" alt="" />

BTW, I still do not agree with you that Ham was Elect as that is a different matter altogether.
