As I have read more and more of your replies (bro UntoHim) to various topics, it's becoming more and more apparent that you put a lot of stock in historical interpretations, right? Historical interpretations are not necessarily right or wrong, in my book. I've found many I don't agree with, but also many I do.
Personally, I don't think we should be so beholdin' to what man's thinking has been over the past two millennia that much. Things get built-up upon an idea, and soon then there's a systematic theology which develops and becomes cemented in place - whether right, wrong, a little or a lot off (or perhaps even correct). We all know what that got the educated Jews - they totally missed Christ.
So you put more stock in one approach and I put more in another. Fine, but regardless what our approach and thinking is on a matter --> here comes the bottom-line -->
the Lord always needs to illuminate us in order for us to get it right!
