BTW, you may well expect that any series of questions which strike me as similar to the strings of questions Christ responded to with great hostility in the New Testament . . . I’ll likely continue to note the similarity.

Faith may transcend reason, but may never contradict it, since the God of Reason is the God of Revelation. If you divorce faith from reason altogether, you make it possible to conform Scripture to your own ends.

2 Peter 3:16

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

I would never want to divorce faith from reason.

I do contend that reason is INADEQUATE, INSUFFICIENT

to FULLY apprehend faith.
