I'll take you up on that offer, actually, if it's still available.

I'm not offering problems. That is only an attitude adopted when one knows their conclusion and can then fit the facts to it. This is just data. There will be more than one possible explanation, some more probable than others. It is more probable than not that the 1 Cor 11 passage was in the Apostol...

My problem with this view is that I recognize that the original epistles are silent about a HJ but I give here a possible reason for this. Not entirely. Luke 22:19-20 and 1 Corinthians 11:22b-25 are just about... eye -...dentical . 19 Then he took a loaf of bread , gave thanks , broke it in pieces ...
