This is the Bay Moe podcast with Marty Salman. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we examine the different elements of John's construction and consider some of the scholarly theories and observations that have been made over the years, seeing what there might be to learn in those possibilities.

Yeah, we're going to pick up kind of where we left off in the last episode. We're using the first four chapters of Dr. Gray Birgis book, interpreting the Gospel of John.

We kind of talked through chapter one, two and four in our last episode. And one of my favorite chapters was chapter three. Like I remember reading it and just was just giggling at my table in my house as I read it. I was like, oh, I just love other goodies in here.

Because of what it was doing to my brain and is making my head explode is wonderful. So, yeah, I thought I would probably be a super long discussion, but I thought I've just used one episode just to kind of hone on this home in.

I keep getting told I use those words incorrectly home and home. Who knew? Apparently a lot of people other than me.

Which one are you trying to say trying to home in like a homing pigeon trying to home in on one chapter rather than rather than hone my skills. Yeah, they're they're actually somewhat interchangeable.

Well, you know who you need to talk to Brent Billions and the whole Baymont world needs to know this.

Read Dent. He's the one that ridicules me endlessly about the words that I use. Well, yeah. So the thing about dictionaries that I think most people don't understand.

Here we go in our short episode.

Yeah, see, you shouldn't make these promises because then you, you know, then you talk and things happen.

But yeah, so dictionaries are descriptive of the language. So in the dictionary, it says that hone in is another way of saying home in.

I think home in is the original phrase, but people quote unquote misuse it so often that it is come to mean the same thing.

So in the dictionary, it says that it is another way of saying it.

You can argue about, you know, the origins of that phrase and when it shifted.

But the fact is people use it so often that the dictionary has said this is what this means.

Even though some people might not like it. Man, all I know is that the introduction that hasn't been made yet that's going to blow up this universe is going to be Brent Billions and Derek Roer when we get the two of you in the same room.

It's it's it's going to be gloriously, it's going to be glorious one direction or another the world will either implode or explode with goodness.

I'm not sure which, but it's going to be wonderful while we're here. We should also talk about the other misunderstood resource that we have.

Fantastic Wikipedia or encyclopedias in general. They are considered tertiary sources.

So they are supposed to be referencing something that is referencing a primary source.

If Wikipedia, if whatever you're reading on Wikipedia sounds like a primary source and isn't citing something else, you're off the rails like get out of there.

And Wikipedia editors are pretty good at like saying, Hey, this needs a citation. We need some kind of, but if there's no citation there, like you're probably in shaky territory. So there's there's the other thing.
