<font color='black' size='4' face='Times New Roman, Times, serif'>Ju<font color="black" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4">st got a call from a credit card company that a suspicious charge of less than a dollar appeared on a card; looking further, there had been quite a few small charges like that, all fraudulent; one had the name 'Amazon', but the account was possibly being tested to ready it for a big bite. That card is now destroyed. By the way, the bank that discovered it was Barclay's. They removed all those charges. Cudos to them! <br>
So beware of those who are 'with guile'!<br>
(Maybe Barclay's are relatives of Nathaniel?)<br>
<br>
And in the 'for what's it's worth' category, some have speculated that Nathaniel is the Beloved Disciple. <br>

Jesus says Nathaniel has no "guile." The word for guile or deceit is
variously translated: treachery, fraud, cunning, duplicity, falsehood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This interesting Greek word means these
things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, the root meaning
of the Greek word is fish bait.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
