Sean, I answered your question.

That definition was from Websters.

It used a fox in that definition.

I went to the Word and Used fox, using the words of Jesus Himself, in answer to your question, and slamdunked it!!!!

So Websters is asserting that Jesus lied?

[Sean]

Could the creators of Websters be preterists?

Websters says Jesus lied here?...
