Steve... I think we're floggin» a dead horse here, but for what it's worth, understand that I'm not trying to convince you to think like I do, rather I wd hope that room wd be made for many theological differences.To think discuss and debate theology is well supported by the New Testament and history, and is perfectly within the
bounds of what it means to engage our minds with the
subject at hand.Theologians and biblical scholars have done this very thing for centuries, revealing a plethora of
opinion on the evolving world of biblical studies.Many capable authors have written and debated the common themes as well as the differences between Paul, John, Jesus, the synoptics, etc..
A primary role of legal
opinions in business transactions is to provide assurance that the documents are valid,
binding, and enforceable,
subject to certain qualifications, based
on the
opinion giver's adherence to certain due diligence procedures and standards of care.
Those who have brought public
opinion to bear
on this
subject act under a mere moral responsibility — under no oath which
binds their movements to the straight and narrow line drawn by the Constitution.
