(Raymond 5/3) I didn't want to get involved in this thread, but. . .
Dave, the NIV translation of the Bible does exactly what you are
criticizing Mr. Till for doing. If you look at Number 34:7-9, Mt. Hor is
again mentioned; this time it is in reference to the boundaries for the
Israelites when they enter Canaan. Mount Hor is part of the northern
boundary. However, there is a footnote in the NIV version which says of
Mount Hor, "possibily Mt. Hermon, but not the Hor of 20:22, where Aaron
died." If the site's location is not known then how can we know that
these two Mt. Hors are not also equivalent?

"The name of the new religion," said Rumfoord, "is The Church of God the
Utterly Indifferent. . . The two chief teachings of this religion are
these: Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and
Luck is not the hand of God."
