Watchman,
 
I'm sorry you misunderstood what I posted concerning God's Word. Perhaps I should clarify. God's Word should act upon our consciences and convince us of the truth God wishes to reveal to us. In this life, it is how the individual conscience perceives what the Word is saying which is the final arbiter for that individual for good or for ill--until (in the afterlife) that person stands in the presence of the Living Word, who will set things right. In this world, however, we all know that godly people often times sincerely disagree upon points in the scripture. Which is what I hope is happening here.
 
I am eager and content to watch history unfold.
 
Your brother in Christ,
Matt in Hayward, CA
