Your opinion.

I believe it keeps me from becoming a false teacher.

It also keeps you from going down the lane of “could this be true? what support is there for the idea if it doesn’t slam it in your face with words?” This is how, for example, the Trinity is universally agreed in all orthodox confessions.

This isn’t a mere “my opinion.” I offer tangibly backed up evidence.

You need to avoid the “fallacy of the excluded middle.”

For there are also falsenesses of omission as well as of commission. Otherwise why bother teaching “the faith” at all. Hand out bibles and say “here, now you do the work.”

Also, there is a minor definition of “sing” along the lines of “recount or celebrate in a work of literature, especially poetry.” We use it today as to say things like “Ralph sang the praises of his new car” when musically Ralph cannot carry a tune.

Drilling down into these possibilities is something that honest people studying and living the Lord’s word also do. But it takes a mind that is reticent to reject a hypothesis until it is thoroughly tested. Knee jerkers will be shallow.
