The tricky thing is that it can be so easy to fall into heresy. What’s even easier is to follow it blindly. I’ve met simple folks who are catholics, orthodox, baptist, etc. who do not really debate on strong theological issues, but honestly — they’re more Christian than most of us “intellectuals”.

Sadly, you are right. I have had the same experience. And yet, for some reason, Christ charged His disciples, frail and sinful men all, to preach and teach. In view of this, it is good for us to take Him and His Word very seriously and ourselves not too seriously at all. As one wise man said, “Don’t take yourself or this life too seriously, you won’t get out of it alive anyway” ... except, of course, in Christ.
Now I really have to run.
