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.

Joshua,

	Remind us of the other stories where God's fingers are mentioned.=20

	Biblically:

1. God wrote the 10 Commandments with His own hand.
2. At Belshazzar's Feast (Daniel 5), God's fingers wrote judgement on the
wall.
3. Jesus wrote with His hand on the ground in John 8, in the story of the
woman taken in adultery.
