Hi Pilgrim

I wasn't going to respond to your post, but when I think of some of the claims that you make concerning the supposed insurmountable problem. I need to at least ask a few questions for clarification.

Perhaps John had assistants? Cf. John 4:1-2. Is there Scripture that shows this one way or another? If not I don't think it is wise for either side to use it in their arguments.

Are we told how long it took?

Just to be clear, like the other Reformed Baptists in this thread who came to your defense, I echo their comments.

Tom
