I think the Scriptural arguments effectively exhibit the difference between an approach to Scripture which develops in the believing community and an approach which arises independently of the community.

In related news, at the end of the world, the teaching goes, Purgatory also ends. It is a temporary arrangement.

I think not, but that the Scriptural arguments effectively exhibit the difference between an approach to Scripture which was manifested in the believing community of the Scriptures, and an approach which arises when the community exalts itself, and effectively operates too independently of the Scriptures, and more autocratically, like the empire it was founded in.
