Dear Alan G77,
Regarding the large contrast between your very "normal" views (on the place of Torah and Shabbat in the life of a Christian) and my very "minority" views, I am considering sending you a personal message rather than debating with you publicly. To continue the discussion here would seem off-topic from the purpose of the thread... and also potentially uncomfortable for anyone who may have just quoted many of their "church fathers" incorrectly and/or out-of-context. Nevertheless, if you insist on taking this position further in this thread, I will take that as a request for me to also discuss the ideas with you here and now.
I do have to take responsibility for derailing the thread in the 1st place - I can honestly say it was unintentional. I was taken off-guard by how much I related to some comments by konway87 and I responded with more enthusiasm than prudence. I should have been more circumspect. I apologize.
Going forward I hope we can reserve this thread for discussion of the actual original topic - found in the title, "Good Wednesday or Good Friday?"...
Have you more views to share on this topic?
