“Who defines what is modest?
I don,t think you really want an honest answer on that one.”
So you deny that human implementation is involved? Do you deny that humans make judgement in order to implement what they perceive to be the will of God?
Do people write books attempting to expound arguments based upon interpretations of God’s Word in order to implement a point of view?
Was Luther not implementing a point of view and an argument when he nailed his treatise to the the church door? Does God’s will and intent sort strike us with a white blinding light of certainty at all times? Does it strike us so strongly that instantly the Christian world falls into lockstep with a way of doing?
So tell me. Who defines modest? I can. But you may not like how I do it. I may be too liberal, or too conservative for you. I may be too light handed, or too heavy handed.
You are pretending that Christians can mystically walk in certain knowledge on these issues. But they never have have they?
Do people write books attempting to expound arguments based upon interpretations of God’s Word in order to implement a point of view?
And by the way i do not read any ones books, but i do know what you say is true.
