Shlama akhi Stephen,
thank you for the information from the Talmud. what a clever word-play! <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->
I had actually looked at Acts 12:22 also, but I wasn't sure if it could be taken to mean something different than the normal translations found in 1st Timothy 6:20. Since ser??ktho means "emptinesses/vanities," the thought crossed my mind that perhaps it could be interpreted with the conveyed idea of "false messages from heaven." Or is it best left as the more common "vain words?"
Thanks again for your input!
Chayim b'Moshiach,
