Declaration of Arbroath

Never having read or been aware of this document before, I agree with MangyTiger.
The mention of the crossing of the red sea must have had a motivation.
If one were to date ones self as a believer or believers to the pope would it not be more likely they use reference to the birth or death of Christ? Unless perhaps that the crossing of the red sea was a common dating anology of the time.I am not an advocate either way in this discussion but to ignore this anomaly ad infinitum with continued belittling remarks raises some serious questions of forum participants motivations. It is an anomaly that deserves carful and deliberate scrutiny for it's true motivations may have great implications.

Upon further thought the refference to the red sea could more easily be laid to rest if we were to see the popes response.
