It would take a theologian?
Why should I get upset? You make no sense.
“Anne simply isn’t a mealy-mouthed theologically impotent mainline church minister.”
What are you talking about, ‘mealy-mouthed’? Is this a slam at ministers? I am not upset, you are confused. What this has to do with the discussion is a mystery to all but you I suppose.
The point is that Anne's remarks were rather short and easily tied directly to wellknown elements in Scripture that define the fundamentals of Christianity.
Ergo, it would take a theologian to pervert them into something more palatable to folks who are not Christian ~ those folks are usually referred to as being rather "mealy mouthed" ~ particularly when they give those old, dired up, either/or, shades of gray sermons.
