The average person attempting to comprehend this thinks, "What planet are those Christians on???"

Jesus Message was rather simple in just believing in Him and His Absolute Love...=-)

Hey, what about the unaverage?

"Chapters 12-13 are a description of what the Last Adam's united humanity is to look like -- and as such, these chapters are a prelude to Paul's appeal in chapters 14-15 that believers learn to get along. The "weak in faith" are to be welcomed -- and not just so they can be argued with! The "strong in faith" are not to be judged (compare 14:1 with 14:3). Here's where we come to understand why Paul keeps repeating that the gospel is for "Jew and Gentile" alike (for instance, 1:14; 2:9, 10; 3:9, 22, 29-30)"

Or, the gospel is for the average and unaverage alike.
