There are far-reaching consequences to rejecting the inspiration of scripture. That is why we are in danger of injuring huge numbers of people when we refuse to listen to any reasonable explanation of difficult passages.
If we have our own interpretation, but we know it has weaknesses, then what does it hurt to inspect other ideas? If they don’t fit, then it’s too easy to just set them aside.
That’s one reason people should listen to your OEC/YEC model. If you are on a solid track — and I think you are — then rejecting out of hand something one has not yet seen has the potential to harm people.
We want them saved.
Thank you so very much for your insights and encouragements!
