Jason,

I believe William is correct; no one here has really been condescending. To be quite honest with you, it is a tad more condescending to come on a website full of strangers, assume that we are rather ignorant of how to handle problem passages, claim to have all the answers, and then become indignant when people challenge your theological positions. Just from my recent interaction with you concerning 2 Kings 24 and 2 Chronicles 36, your responses appear to be somewhat amateurish. I don't mean that to be mean spirited, but only to encourage you to maybe reconsider the material you are putting out as answers to Bible problems. The reason why I say that is because if your recent responses to Jehoiachin's age (as well as your attitude toward William) is representative of the argumentation on your overall CD ROM collection, then you run the risk of being embarrassed by an intelligent critic who knows his stuff and your material could potentially do more harm than good. Rather than taking an offense to those who are challenging your theology, you may wish to welcome it for your own good. It is much better to be peer reviewed among friends, than to hastily publish your stuff out in the real world only to have it torn to pieces by your enemies, resulting in your integrity as a scholar being properly mocked.
