Cuban leaf, I tend towards eternal punishment but agree with your global view of understanding Scripture. Like you, I listen to Scripture and find that literally hearing it read delivers me from the proof-text trap and opens up the whole letter/book. There is so much manipulation of God’s Word done by people who don’t even read the whole they quote from. I’ve done it. Don’t want to.

You touched on something I don’t talk about much. The listening rather than reading phenomenon. It’s like looking at a sculpture and then touching it. It changes your perspective. Especially listening in large blocks.
