Biblical exegesis has had centuries of scholarship attempting to bring out the mysteries of the first century understanding of what the prophets, Apostles, and devoted disciples wrote and translated about the Word found in the Hebrew Holy Writ, et al, without the subsequent attempts of contravening Islamic scholarship that proposes to replace those early Hebraic/Aramaic scriptures with confusing and arbitrary misrepresentations of Hebraic writ as found in the Quranic bodies of writing that appear in Arabic.
DNM writes [If any reader is interested to know more about the Ashab al-Ayka also Layka tradition, just let me know....]; consider this your invitation.
As has/had been indicated before, this observer has spent decades attempting to discern why there has been so much scholarship in centuries on what is supposed to be elucidations of truth; and yet this is still so little true understanding. There is so little time left for humanity; and so much that still needs clarification. Please continue.
