While I am certainly no "King James only" fellow, nor do I know Dr. Waite but
I would like to see one of his articles from his paper that ever said the
above.  Getting a little dramatic are we not? Dealing in hyperboles, perhaps?

I thought is was only the "KJ only" people who made wild statements.

Only knowing what I have read, it is true his Dr.'s is in speech, but (and it
is one of those but's that makes people...) he does have the following hours
in languages from  the U. of MI and Dallas Theological Sem. - 25 semester
hours in Hebrew; 66 semester hours in Greek; (you can add, that 91 hours)
plus he has 27 additional hours in other languages such as Spanish, Latin,
and French.  So, how many semester hours of languages did you take in school?
 True perhaps he may not know anything about Greek or TC. and his "paper"
maybe be absurdities in your opinion as well a many others, but my, how
foolish you sound.

Lesson:  I think it is obvious.
