Berg hoodwinked me, and I think I'm safe to speak for most exers here, by giving us a lot of Bible verses and claiming that what he taught was all totally Bible based. He used a lot of Paul's verses too, especially ones like "all things are lawful unto me". I completely disagree with the comparison you make: "We exers have heard that doctrine before, ...I quote David Berg where ..." What Eva says about Paul and what Berg said on Paul are as far as the east is from the west.
My take on what Eva's saying and how she's saying it is so different than yours. I think it's because my faith isn't limited to solely the Bible anymore, so when something so well presented, thought out, and provocative like Eva's posts comes up it really gets my interest and appreciation. None of it has sounded preachy to me either.
