There is a lot of eisegesis in your writings. When confronted with certain passages that are rather clear, rather than hearing what they are teaching, you find ways to rationalize them away and keep your own concept in play. This is eisegesis. What we should do is hear and understand the passage as it speaks, in the context from which it speaks, and accept its message. Then when we merge these concepts of truth with other concepts from other passages, our greater understanding becomes more complete. Then we will be able to forge ahead to that TOE (theory of everything), which ultimately is Christ himself. :-) Peace be with you.
