Not changes it, clarifies the point I was trying to make. At least I hope it does.

If we’re going to talk about understanding the Word, then the only one with perfect understanding is the Lord himself. And if we make quote-unquote ‘understanding’ the Word as a requirement for salvation, we turn the Christian faith into a kind of Gnosticism.

But as Proverbs says: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” And infants can trust.

More Carving.

Sounds a lot like “your own understanding” (a la’ 1Cor 1 and 2)

BTW- babies cry because they’re dissatisfied sinners.

Not too different from the whining I read in these threads.
