you strike me as one who knows the basics of your faith, the tenets , sayings and slogans, but not very deep beyond that. Which makes you a good finger wagger when needed. One of the troops, not an officer.

I don't think God's army works that way. I REALLY think avenir is wrong about philosophy 'n stuff. But I think Paul is clear that there are diversities of gifts. So maybe avenir could teach me things about courage or purity or modesty that I sorely need to learn.

(Except, of course, humility. I'm really good at humility. NOBODY can teach me ANYTHING about humility. I'm the best!)

But, well, I do my thing and offer it to God and for the kingdom, and maybe a few times the Holy Spirit has used my words for tinder when he lit a fire in somebody's heart. But I'm really just a grunt on one front of the battle, and I don't know who's what in the other sectors.

I’m glad to be one of the troops. Paul was a highly intelligent man who yet thrilled when God said, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

Your assessment of me is based on snippets of replies on an Internet forum, hardly a Summa Theologica of source material, lol!
