Joe, please let it go sir ! You believe what you believe.

I find it interesting that after you've been rebuked by literally everyone in this thread you simply come to this pragmatic conclusion. When you say, "You believe what you believe... and I'll believe what I believe you make the truth subjective which it is not.

Joe and others have rightly stated what the problem is. Namely you are reading your views into the text.

Joe summed it up rather nicely when he wrote....

Your post has nothing to do with what the gospel is. You are concerned that every SINGLE time a "sermon" is recorded in the writ, it contains all 5 petals of the flower. This is where you error. And you put the concentration on man's understanding immediately. Yes you cloak this that it is given of God, but your MAJOR concentration is what was understood.

Now, either you are slow to comprehend or simply unteachable. Why don't you take a little time and re-read this entire thread. Then ask God why your fellow believers here on the Highway have responded to you the way they have.
