Imagine if one of the followers of @ had the arrogance of @. What might he be capable of?

Contra @, it seems to me that we should be encouraging their humility rather than attacking it.

As I arrived at his domus, I overheard him lecturing @ on the problems with the Galileeans.

Finally decided that I must tell him of my concerns.

He sees them as little more than a sect of the Jews. Yet I suspect that they are something new.

@ holds them in disdain, but I think he is unable to discuss them rationally.

Have been pondering the best way to approach @ regarding the threat of the followers of @.

Such a belief, of course, defies rational explanation.

I suspect that they were followers of @. I have heard tell of their belief that he died and yet lives.

Which brings us back to the voices I heard hymning he who rose as he said.

And conviction, as a quality, is public witness of one's convictions.

Thus a conviction is a belief that one holds with such certainty that it has the power to convict--to conquer--others.

And one's example, of course, is living proof of one's own convictions.

Thus, to convince is to conquer with an argument or other means--even simply the means of one's example.

Vincere means to conquer. The prefix "con-" means "with."

Yet convincere means so much more.
