You said, “Once again, it would seem we are arguing over non-important details, and missing the big picture.” I don’t think so; How Jesus fulfilled ‘hell’ in our place is more important than our fallible and weak and sinful discovery of that experience in and by ourselves. That’s why it’s so important what Paul expressed as our crucifixion and resurrection “IN CHRIST” and “WITH Him” -— HIS fulfilling the plan and purpose of God “for us” even ours: “in Him”. We have not missed the IMPORTANT thing. Jesus is more important thatn us; and his fulfilling God’s promises and Law far outweighs ours.

You're quibbling over nothing.

Here is what I know. I've read the bible many, many times through and through.

God, through his savior, saved me from my sins, changed my heart because I believed the Gospel as it was preached to me and as God enabled me to understand it through his Holy Spirit.

Furthermore, the Holy Spirit has not convicted me through what you have said, so I know it is of little importance.

Remember when Jesus said, and I paraphrase, I will send another in my name (the Holy Spirit) and he will teach you everything you need to know?

If what you are saying and quibbling over was so important to my soul, God would have convicted my heart of the necessity or need of this knowledge.

God is whom I trust, not your perception, or my perception of every little thing.

Focus on the big picture, the Salvation of souls.

This is like all those who spend a majority of their time arguing about Revelations and what that book is supposed to mean.

Put first things first, your salvation, then the salvation of others, and then, if there is time, worry about the inconsequential.

It is enough for me that He Died and Rose again, conquering sin, once and for all, for all mankind procuring a sure and certain pathway to Heavan for fallen man for everyone whosever will follow him as he has prescribed.

Are you worried about your salvation? I’m not worried about mine ....
Are you worried about the salvation of others? Why worry if God worried about their salvation already?

No, dear brother in Jesus Christ (which I doubt no second; but perhaps you may regret that I am) “He is our Peace” says the Word by every word of, said Jesus, man shall live. If we like to have something to worry about — which we all do like very much to have — let us worry then about ‘every word’ in the Scriptures the Word of God. Or do you think by paying utmost attention to the least of these words of God will do me — or you — harm? Again, God knows who are his; why must I be panicky? I enjoy His Word so much I do not find the time to worry about ‘salvation’. In any case, I enjoy so utterly what GIANTS OF THE FAITH already have thought and said about ‘salvation’ I cannot contribute anything in comparison, I feel. I’m too insignificant for the greater stuff; so I leave it in God’s own hands.

Besides, too many hypocrites noise over salvation, love, charity, and all that jazz, I am uncomfortable and discomforted completely in their presence or conversation. You know, deep in my soul, I hate hypocrisy and hypocrites. For me, to deny that I do, will be hypocrisy of my own. In any case, I have nothing to drop in the chest-of-gold; and afterwards would trust none of its treasurers whose greedy fingers reach deep and cleverly anyway.
