I think that covers the subject quite nicely.

If only the Aposles had been aware of the elegant wines produced in South Africa (and pretzels!) they could have settled in for a good natter and avoided all this misunderstanding.

Seriously, the medium of letters transmitted who-knows-how (worse than the USPS, if that can be) means that we have to assume that writers were at cross-purposes, without the opportunity to sit down with a lovely Sebeka Pinotage and sort out the details.

The Holy Spirit guarantees that the Gospel is conveyed according to the Will of God. It’s only our confusion that confuses things.

I hope this doen’t offend but this reminds me of the story about the old Priest who was found sobbing down in the out-of-the-way archives in the basement of the Vatican while pouring over an ancient manuscript. Another Priest happening by and hearing the sobs rushed to find out what the problem was. The sobbing Priest could barely speak but finally got out, “celebration, it’s celebration; the stupid scribe left out the ‘r’!”
