If you are delaying your assessment of the article until others chime in so that you can adjust your 'hermeneutics', etc., you may have a very long wait. Robin has already shared his thoughts on the article, so that's one. But "iron sharpens iron", right? But you can't sharpen your 'iron' if you don't set it out there for others to sharpen their 'iron' too, right? So, just get on with it and lay it out there. After all, you are the one who started this thread.

You could say you are among friends here so go ahead and take that fatal plunge.

I have already written out my assessment of the article. And, I have no intention of commenting on your view(s) nor anyone else's. My intent was to simply read the article through several times, check out what the author wrote previous to this article, which I often find helpful to assess my own assessment (people tend stick with a 'theme' or to ride hobby horses). Am I any different than you or anyone else here in that I need to read with discernment, use proper exegetical and hermeneutical skills, try to put any of my own potential preconceived ideas aside, etc. and to be unwavering on those things which I know are absolutely true.

Okay... waiting on you!
