No, you are not. You must have stopped half-way through the Robertson citation
to believe this.

And is that where you stopped, Bob? Is that why you tell Gary to "hold that
thought"?

You are equivocating. For Robertson is simply not making the distinction between
middle and passive form. That is why I would not have used that citation.

He understood it. But he understood the rest of the citation too. You know: the
part you passed over in silence without either including it in your post, nor
marking where you snipped.

But read the rest of the citation, Bob. Robertson made it CLEAR that he did NOT
believe that God was responsible for this. Why? Because the verb was passive in
form, but _middle_ in meaning.

Stop pretending that Robertson did not refute you in the rest of the citation.
