Comments on: More on Sheffield http://www.sakeoftruth.com/2009/10/more-on-sheffield/ Biblical Studies, Exegesis, Theology, etc. by Josh Mann Thu, 08 Dec 2011 17:58:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Josh Mann http://www.sakeoftruth.com/2009/10/more-on-sheffield/comment-page-1/#comment-507 Josh Mann Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:11:16 +0000 http://www.sakeoftruth.com/?p=748#comment-507 Stephanie, I'm glad you've stopped by and I do hope you'll take a look around the blog, but I don't care to further defend that my use of the adverb is completely appropriate. My point was to provide a link to what I thought was an interesting perspective on the Sheffield ordeal. I support the campaign to keep the biblical studies dept. open. Perhaps I could have been clearer in the post with my word choice. Granted.

"Represented as existing or as being as described but not so proved; supposed." The implication is that the source may not be authentic.

I simply used the word because of the uncertainty of the source. I don't think Jim is lying, but I'm dependent on what is "declared to be as described." While I admit in some contexts, the word can come to mean "suspect" or "doubtful," I think it is clear that I didn't mean that here. My goodness, folks… time to take a look at the dictionary:

I know from first hand knowledge that you are not "making it up".
