I think the continuous case is appropriate here
Thanks Bill. Mounce gives the "ing" English endings for the present tense application in the book I have on page 352 I believe. It was taught to me in first year Greek. No one has ever questioned it before. I will continue using it in the way I did. The quote David offers from Mounce is exactly what I am saying. Maybe I did not communicate that as I should have. I don't know. But thanks for the impute.
One other matter -- if any has any doubts or concerns about me because of Jim Elsman, feel totally free to off-list your concerns --- nothing to hide here. Jim thrives on causing trouble. I saved some of his "classics" from the past just in case he turned out to be someone who follows people around and does what he does. You will note that I do not answer him -- but he knows that if he says stuff often enough, some will listen. He actually knows next to nothing about me. He also loves to torment David Miller -- more than me. Just ignore it. But I will gladly answer any concerns.
John
