Ooooh! Suddenly it all makes sense! Thank You God for sending Your oracle! Now it is all so clear to me! (sarcasm alert)
We were sold a paint-by-numbers theology as though it were a Rembrandt. Lisbon is right: you have to be drugged to be continually imbibing this stuff, and telling each other about having arrived at the high peak truths.
"Mystery hid from ages, now revealed by Lee
Crystallized and consummated, all for sale to we
Thank you, may we all have more economy?"

You made me laugh Aaron!! 
God's economy is not even complicated!
Blessings and showers of God's Perfect Love on everyone, me included :-)
