I encourage all to read the whole chapter wherever I have cited scripture, and understand my references in their proper context.
Beware the untaught*, the unskilled*, and the unstable*, those who twist* the truth and bring false doctrine, making up things which contradict* scripture, and these lies are a cancer* to the body of Christ.
Always compare what is said to the Holy Bible, and if true, submit to it. Experience does not determine doctrine. The living word of God either validates experience or exposes the lies of it. "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." John 17:17, Hebrews 4:12
"Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer*." 2 Timothy 2 If you do not study God's word, you cannot be an unashamed worker, as you will not be rightly dividing the word of truth.
"My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment."
"For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled* in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5
"And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, �I am of Paul,� and another, �I am of Apollos,� are you not carnal? 1 Corinthians 3
"Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation�as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught* and unstable* people twist* to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3
"O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions* of what is falsely called knowledge� 21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith." 1 Timothy 6
If anyone think a pointed response is never appropriate, especially when there is false teaching being thrown about, consider these words most carefully: "Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith" Titus 1
"Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned." Titus 3
"Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Psalm 119
"I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above ALL Your name." Psalm 138 This is the importance God has assigned to His word. Read it, study it, meditate upon it, memorize it, write it, listen to it, drink it, eat it.

I have repeatedly asked you one simple question, and you continue to deflect and refuse to answer it.
Romans 16:16 - Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1 Corinthians 16:20 - Greet one another with a holy kiss.
2 Corinthians 13:12 - Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1 Thessalonians 5:26 - Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
These are God's commands. Are you obeying them?
It's a simple question that only requires a simple yes or no answer. Anything you say in response that is not a simple yes or no answer, is your deflecting the issue and blaming me for it, and it is clear for all to see.

To kiss or not to kiss, that is the question.
Well Paul did not say we could make up our own minds, the word of God is in the hands of Paul, and if you see yourself as spiritual; you have to acknowledge that the things Paul writes to us are the COMMANDMENTS, of the Lord..
1 Corinthians 14:35 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
36 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
37 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
We see how affectioned the disciples were to one another in love, how John was lying down onto Jesus, and Peter gave the same words, greet one another with a kiss of charity. Brotherly love being done towards all the brethren as it says below, and to increasemore and more,not to decrease...
1 Peter 5:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
1 Thessalonian 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
Jesus did increase in wisdom and stature, and look at the increase at age 30 when becoming the messiah. The spirit abode on Him, and immediately He preached the Kingdom of Heaven. A clear sign that unless we are born again, we have no ability to preach the Gospel. When born again, all old is passed away, including the old serpant, he has no ability to deceive any more, claiming to be telling us truth, vanity is no truth no matter how good it sounds, without love there is no truth. These who seem to know scripture, fulfill scripture...Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, and that knowledge of the truth, is the love of the truth. No love equals no truth..
John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

Thank you both for your honest interaction.
I believe this is one of the cases where culture comes into play. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with greeting with a holy kiss, however that was the custom of that culture. Today, we shake hands in western culture. I believe the point is that we greet and acknowledge one another warmly according to the custom of our culture.

Thanks, and I think it's a bit deeper than that also.
When in 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10 we are told to increase our brotherly love more and more, it was not simply a thought, or even a commandment. It was because the love that existed in the culture of 2000 years ago, was soon to be replaced by covetousness. There were overseers, but none like the specially chosen vessel Paul. As soon as Paul departed, the wolves were able to enter among the flock...
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Jesus also told of these wolves, as many false prophets rising to deceive many Christian workers of iniquity. At this end time now, it is clear when love waxes cold, as covetousness rose to it's highest level ever and possible, this world sure is the hour of temptation right now.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
So it is much more than custom that has been dropped, and replaced by hand shakes. It is love that has been dropped, as foretold, and people are friendly alright, but sinners and businessmen are just as friendly, and if a Christian greets only as warmly as a non Christian, what good is it...
Matthew 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Apart from all of that, there is one last consideration, I wont say it, the scripture speaks loud and clear...
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Psalms 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

"The Pharisees came and asked Him, �Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?� testing Him."
"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.�"
"Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, �Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?�"
"Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven."
"And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him."
"I have repeatedly asked you one simple question, and you continue to deflect and refuse to answer it." DavidsPsalms
Would Jesus dignify such a question with a response? Where did he learn to question like this? When will the question about washing my hands be asked? Where was he when Rand487 couldn't figure out that Christians sin and that salvation is eternal? Where was he when Zimneno was struggling with the issue of martyrdom? But he has made himself available to ignore the command, "But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned." Titus 3:9-11
"To kiss or not to kiss, that is the question." ADAM7777
"And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner. 39 Then the Lord said to him, �Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you. 42 �But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.� 45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, �Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.� 46 And He said, �Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, �I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,� 50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation. 52 �Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.� 53 And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him."
No, this is NOT the question.
Also, he makes a huge assumption here; "When Eve answered satan in innocency, she spoke as told to her". Where is this said in scripture? I've studied the whole bible and do not recall such scripture to back his claim. He has only speculation. And, he tries to divert the conversation away from the clear point, which is absolutely echoed in other parts of scripture, that you shall not add to the word of God. This is affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments.
The real question is this, "Peter, do you love me?" When did Jesus ever keep asking anyone if they were committing a particular sin? Even with the woman at the well He never directly asked her if she was sinning. We know He repeatedly asked about their hearts, and their thought life. This is why you and these others are not to be followed. You have no clue where the heart of Jesus is focused. It isn't on the externals. Does that mean commands are not to be followed? No. But what pastor goes around with a checklist and asks people if they are committing a particular sin without any reason to ask other than to ask to see if it is something about which he can accuse the brethren?
The first time I preached was when my Cult evangelism professor set me up to speak following the presentation of a film at Homestead Air Force Base about Jim Jones and his twisted cult. I gave the message after the presentation of the film, and we had a q&a following. That was in 1979. Do you kiss people when you greet them is the kind of manipulative question Jim Jones would ask, and then it would get worse.
God willing I will post something on judging in the next week or two regarding the judging we are not to do, and the judging we are commanded to do. You might want to read 1 Corinthians in preparation, so you will understand the background, and are able to keep things in their proper context.

"Would Jesus dignify such a question with a response?"
Lets see...
"The Pharisees came and asked Him, �Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?� testing Him."
Mark 10:2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, What did Moses command you?
"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.�"
Luke 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, HE BEGAN TO SAY, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, BUT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE TO TI GENERATION.
"Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, �Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?�"
Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, AND SAID UNTO THEM, Hear, and understand:
11 NOT THAT WHICH GOETH INTO THE MOUTH DEFILETH THE MAN; BUT THAT WHICH COMETH OUT OF THE MOUTH DEFILETH A MAN.
12 THEN CAME HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID UNTO HIM, KNOWEST THOU THAT THE PHARISEES WERE OFFENDED, AFTER THEY HEARD THIS SAYING?
"Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven."
Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; BUT CAN YE NOT DISCERN THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
What Jesus said in Matthew 16:3 to the Pharisees and Seducees, was the fulfilling of a sign....
Jeremiah 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her APPOINTED TIMES; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the TIME OF THEIR COMING; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
"And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him."
Luke 11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Luke 12:54 AND HE SAID ALSO TO THE PEOPLE, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; BUT HOW IS IT THAT YE DO NOT DISCERN THIS TIME?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
The answer is, YES, Jesus does answer their questions, every example given above, He did answer. Or is that not clear yet ?
Now, Gods word is relevant, instead of people opinions, I totally agree DO NOT receive instruction from those unskillful in the word..
We are taught by Christ how to be, answering all that was asked, to expose people for lying in Gods name, to give testimony and light into this dark world, and avoiding unlearned questions is true, yet at the same time giving chance for people to also answer, Mark 11:29, and then the man of God can answer always and does not need to avoid. So let our communication be simple, yes or no. More than that is definately of evil. To be manifest, light and not darkness needing to hide your answers giving false excuses why we act like darkness. They will not answer, will not be corrected, will not hear you, and you answer back to them, truth is perished and is cut off from your mouth. All who are in darkness and they act like in light. Light always has an answer ready. A wicked man hardens his face, but the man that heareth always, (Hears God) speaks constantly, does not need to harden his heart from answering and exposing his deceit..
Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Proverbs 29:19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
Jeremiah 7:27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Ephesians 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Proverbs 21:28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
"Also, he makes a huge assumption here; "When Eve answered satan in innocency, she spoke as told to her". Where is this said in scripture? I've studied the whole bible and do not recall such scripture to back his claim. He has only speculation. And, he tries to divert the conversation away from the clear point, which is absolutely echoed in other parts of scripture, that you shall not add to the word of God. This is affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments."
Innocency as she had not eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Who can show me to assume that ?
Now all on earth can answer this? Why would Eve be adding to Gods word to make the situation more serious for herself ? Why would Eve say we cannot touch the tree, if she was not told that ? If Eve wanted to deceive, she would make the situation more favorable to deceive, not less favorable by showing it is more serious and even the touching of the tree results in death.
Fact, God speaks and we do not see every word.
me way, how would Eve know ?
Fact, God continued there in the garden speaking with Adam and Eve.
Fact, Gods warnings later were seen to be, do not touch or you die. How would Eve have added to Gods words when God does this exact same way, how would Eve know ?
One last fact, speculating that Eve added to Gods word, fulfills the scripture, judge not lest ye also be judged. So your boast of proving sometime later for judging is done already by your own participation. Matthew 7:1
"The real question is this, "Peter, do you love me?" When did Jesus ever keep asking anyone if they were committing a particular sin? Even with the woman at the well He never directly asked her if she was sinning"
Peter was asked three times to justify the three times denial of Christ. Peter was grieved Jesus asked three times, but understood Christ gave chance for Peter to confess three times. The woman at the well was not a believer with the Spirit, as the Spirit was not given until after Christ rose. The Spirit is the reason we stop sinning, the Spirit of love instead of hatred. Back to the real question, which somebody has tried to avoid, and has it all made clear instead now. Do we get repeatedly asked over and over if we do a particular sin ? Yes we need to increase our love, and we need to prove the sincerity of our love, That is the true pastor, Christ, who has a complete checklist, including if we love and to show proof of it, and also love is in answering in light, and love is affection as done by the true believers.
John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
Philippians 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
2 Corinthians 8:8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
2 Corinthians 8:24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

You are not able to show Jesus as avoiding any questions, but the word shows the complete and very opposite, so enjoy everyone..
Luke 20:26 AND THEY COULD NOT TAKE HOLD OF HIS WORDS BEFORE THE PEOPLE: and they marvelled at his answer, AND HELD THEIR PEACE
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 AND AFTER THAT THEY DURST NOT ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL.
Matthew 22:41 WHILE THE PHARISEES WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, JESUS ASKED THEM,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 AND NO MAN WAS ABLE TO ANSWER HIM A WORD, NEITHER DURST ANY MAN FROM THAT DAY FORTH ASK HIM ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
