I thought that this might be the case, FBM...and it reminds me of the "beginingless time" suttas that are so often abused so badly.

Aloka-D, what was the context in which the snippet of that sutta was presented? I have seen Bodhi and others take other snippets out of context and use them in this way before, misrepresenting them to seem to support other aspects of their belief systems.
