however in the time of the bible, dirty people were all around. Bathing was not modernized at all.
[/ QUOTE ]Ummmmm, You may want to check that out the bathing thing in Jesus's day in more detail before you email your comments to this guy. The Jews had very specific details they followed on the subject of bathing & washing. see... John 2:6
[/ QUOTE ]The Jews did, not everyone else. A hot bath was a luxury. Not everyone had them. The Jews very specifically had rules on it. Everyone is not of Jewish faith. I made my point to him, and I made it well. I do not have to prove the environment or setting for a bunch of dirt balls in the days of ol' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
[/ QUOTE ]The Greeks and Romans bathed quite regularly too, and had hot and cold running water. So in the world of Jesus' day, which was the Roman Empire, regular bathing was part of normal life.Deneb, you made some good points, but as far as impressing this guy, you made so many spelling and grammatical errors he'd write you off as illiterate regardless of the content. You misspelled Santa Claus, for Pete's sake. Your well-intentioned letter played right into this guy's hands; I wouldn't be surprised if he quotes it just to show that metalheads can't write. If you're going to write to someone and try to come off as an intellectual, you have to use correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. Otherwise it's like the convict on In Living Color, who used words whose meaning he didn't know in the wrong contexts; it's just a joke.
