Thanks immensely for taking the substantial time and effort, and exercising your considerable faith and knowledge, to post such a series of verses relevant to the issue. Given the inclination, I could have done likewise, though perhaps not with quite your alacrity.
You've presented a formidable and indeed conclusive case for the proposition that I never doubted or questioned. But as we've seen too many times to argue, God's Word often contains deeper meanings (not implying gnostically). All of those Scriptures' veracity still admit the possibility that I suggested. I'm merely saying this may be one of the innumerable surprises we will surely encounter.
I join with you in your love of discussing Jesus.
“I join with you in your love of discussing Jesus.”
Amen!
