So being an intellectual is the key to understanding, eh???

Nope. Paying attention to what is actually being said instead of making up stuff to use in scoring cheap points is key.

As for the know-nothing, "I'm just a humble peasant and you're a big fat Pharisee," approach, nope, nice try. The old humble but isn't gonna git 'er done.

"The Simplicity that is Christ Jesus"

Nice phrase. I kind of like the simplicity that is is I Cor 12. "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?" Yes, in Charity one can enjoy and participate and even be a part of spreading the Gospel of the Love of God in Jesus.

But Paul clearly says that NOT all are apostles, prophets teachers. This part of the Bible gives Sola Scriptura types the heebie jeebies because it suggest that maybe some of them shouldn't be trying to tell others how to think. And for some Christians, the whole POINT of religion is pushing other people around.

You may not have noticed but we post scripture and our positions are based on the scripture we post...And we do so by following instructions in the scripture...

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
