[The Urban Sombrero]

Nope, you're not getting away with it this time old friend. And your conflating what was said. You drew a common distinction between the religious elite of Jesus' day with Bible Belters. Then you tried to haze me with the second Israel stuff, which, who knows what that really means? Notwithstanding, the two are mutually exclusive groups. The religiously elite of Jerusalem rejected Jesus, right? While Bible Belters have bowed before Him in repentance and have called Him Lord. Hardly fodder to open yet another debate front concerning something about a second Israel.

They may have bowed and called him "Lord," but not all who say "Lord, Lord" actually build on rock. The spirit of the Pharisees lives in every age.
