OK. Let me present a hypothetical.
On one hand, you have your church leadership and tradition saying one thing. Their scholarly position, in fact, is the standard one, accepted by most people around you.
On the other hand, you have the Word of God saying something else. A few people accept this position.
Which do you believe? The church leadership and tradition, or the Word of God?
Have you had a chance to consider the question I posed in the comment above this one?
