Tidbit #2 "iota"
In the 300's - 400's AD a debate arose as theologians wrestled with the concept of who Jesus was/is. There were two very similar sounding groups of thinking. The first used the Greek word "homoousios", indicating that Christ was of the same substance as God. The second group used the word "homoiousios", indicating that Christ was like God. The difference: one iota (i), the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet. The result: allegedly almost dividing the Roman Empire... So, the next time you go to say that something doesn't make one iota of a difference...
