...wasn't meant to be personal, Don. This was a post about Observer and his problems with different Christian clichees, stereotypes and prevailing paradigms. With other words: me, myself and I...
It's quite clear to me that you don't seem to be having these problems and are quite set in what you believe in. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. Berg was also quite set in what he believed in.
See, my Jesus was quit upset at the scribes and pharisees most of the times, even warning folks that their righteousness needed to exceed those of the S & Ps. Scribe is a bit of a "rough" translation of the original tongue, at least in my book. Luther translated it differently and called these folks "those learned in the scriptures", in German "Schriftgelehrte". In modern English, and very freely translated, perhaps something like "Scripture freaks". To me it simply means those folks who always dig around the scriptures, quote them and throw them at others to ascertain their superiority over them.
Enough said, I think.
