YEah, I was thinking the same thing, 9:6 instead of 6:9.

8:3 is a good one, too. I had a dog with that name.

I’m pretty sure 9:6 is what the guy meant to say…at least I hope. Not all of us “fundamentalist Christians” (I hate that term, but it’s what most people on this board would consider me) are Jerry Falwell-Pat Robertson intolerant nut jobs. Reading sinister borderline antisemitic intentions into what was probably a typo is not very tolerant, either.

I’ll see if his sister can check it out for us.  
He has a history of being vastly over enthusiastic about what he believes family members should believe. 🙂

Thanks, everyone.
