My friends, simple faith is wonderful, but God has so much more for us when we understand why he says to do this and not do that. We should study and not allow the corrupting of scripture to rob us of the blessings we have been promised. When we think we understand a passage, then its time to get deeper, and see if that is what is really being said. If the "church and christian theologians" all agree I suggest studying the original texts for clues that show us dogmas and omisions to the truth. Hey, throw your questions to this forum, I'm sure we can figure out the meaning and proper response better than some of churchianity's current leading commentators. I've seen it right here!
Love ya all for putting up with my experiment,

Well, now  --  here is just another great example of why I remain on this forum.  I could not have written this better myself  --  and guess what,   I DIDN'T.   That is why is it rises to such a level of excellence.  I have to say that when we began our debate about the law, I was defending justification by faith apart from works of the Law  --  turns out I was preaching to the choir.   Kind of took me back a little.   THAT was my reason for not even considering the thinking of Henson and Powers  (kind of sounds like a law firm). 

Anywho  --  preinted and saved, my friend.
