I cringe every time I see the "name" Benjamin. It's not a name. It's a word & a name shoved together by ignorant people. The disciple named Bartholomew was not also called Benjamin as the English translators mistakenly translated. His full name, as understood at that time, was Bartholomew ben Jamin (Bartholomew son of Jamin.)
Your ranting about the origin of the name Benjamin, not, somehow, being a name because of, reputedly, a 2000 year old book was a huge non-sequitur, irrelevant as could be. Apparently, we aren't supposed to evolve or change from that time to this.
As a means of purely keeping people from saying mean, ugly, vile or profane or slanderous things, I moderate comments. I'll get your comment up soon as possible (as long as it's not any of the above).
