I don’t know what his affiliations were. He told us he was born on an Arizona cattle ranch. He bore a strong resemblance to actor Martin Balsam.

He was a movie actor; he was in \* Catch-22 \*; Anthony Perkins kicked him down the stairs in \* Psycho; \* he was Juror #1 in \* 12 Angry Men; \* and he was Murray, Archie ’ s partner, on \* Archie Bunker ’ s Place. \*

In Hebrew, as in Isaiah 9:6: El Gibbor, “Mighty God” (prophecy about Jesus). El Shaddai refers only to Jehovah and means “Almighty God.”  
[/QUOTE]

What is the difference between a “mighty god” and an “almighty god”? And what about Jesus being the archangel Michael?

Compare the definitions of El Gibbor and El Shaddai in Dr. James Strong ’ s Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary.

Yep. 1974-1977.

Calvin Greer was evidently before my time. TBH, I’m not even sure if Owen taught Music Appreciation. My wife had him for Jazz Appreciation, though.

No, I was in Dr. Greer ’ s class in Fall 1983. Apparently he died about 1990. ☹ I also took Piano with Dr. James Hurd (he looked like Ted Lange of \* Love Boat). \*and Professor June Lusk Nelson. 🙂

Really? In the KJV, Westcott and Hort’s text, and Strong ’ s Concordance the phrase is “beginning” (Greek, _arche)_ of the creation of God. "

When God confounded language at the Tower of Babel, he screwed up big time. He made it impossible for His Word to be accurately translated.
