This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

So...the deal-making was farce? The Rajan (who really just Silk after 
all) will go on to the Whorl and Neighbors will soon discover that their 
bargain is not worth the paper it wasn't written on?

I seem to be having a problem clarifying homoneius. Still, I'll try to 
get the rest of my response out tonight, and hopefully it will be 
clearer. Although, I'm sensing that you're reading them only to come up 
with quick objections and reponses chosen for their supposed wit rather 
than than insightful understanding.

You read the part where I said "Not equivalent to Christ as Aslan is" 
right?
I don't see much Pas-like in saving a town from tyranny.
Still, not everything in the New Testament is "gentle Jesus meek and mild".

It works just fine for Arminianist theology. And, in fact, it is not 
ignored in Augustinian Trinitarian doctrine either.
/"I keep asking that _the God of our Lord Jesus Christ_ , the Father of 
glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the 
knowledge of Him." _Ephesians 1:17/

And he is a Christ figure on multiple levels. As three-persons-in-one, 
he is a picture of God Himself.
