LOL. Lance, it is not recanting. You are just starting to understand me a little better. As I said before, all of us are engaged in the work of interpreting Scripture. However, some of us also receive revelation from time to time. That revelation is in part. None of us have the entire picture. When we come together in love and share, our understanding increases. I'm glad you are starting to see the bigger picture and relinquishing your stereotype of me.
