Very well indeed, tricky_k_1972! Nicely done!
And yes, you have made this point very clearly yourself, TXnMA. And I totally agree with you and tricky_k_1972. I daresay A-G sees it this way as well.
I would add that God the Father has revealed Himself in four ways: 1) through the Person of Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, 2) through the indwelling Holy Spirit, 3) through the Scriptures, and 4) through Creation both spiritual and physical.
Seems to me it would be miserable to close one's mind to any of these.
To God be the glory!
