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.

Well, see my point about Logos originally meaning ratio. It makes more sense that way.
A ratio is a relationship. If we have a relationship between Man and God ( God: Man or God / Man) then the ratio is that which relates them.  

To take that to an almost ridiculous extreme, look at the second way I wrote that ratio, as a division problem. Now Jesus said he came to bring the sword.  Does anyone know of a christ-figure in these books carrying a sword around with the inscribed quote  "Here is the line of division"

It's pretty funny actually.
