Well said. There is time to teach these things and it takes time. No two people will teach them the same, and no two people will learn them the same.
I don't know all the details of your struggle with the ledership in your church, but if you can convince them a church needs one troublemaker, that would be a good start. Maybe you could use different word.
Just know this; if they have been to seminary, then they have probably heard many of your arguments before. Their answers, that you have listed in your posts, tell me that they have at least given the question some thought.
There are no insignificant details in God's word or in his work, most are passed over lightly.
