I never responded to this when you posted it. I really do like it, but thought few would ever get that's what I'm supposed to do out of it, so it wasn't going to work.
That said, you also said something else a few days ago that I've been thinking about. Something along the lines of "if it's about people/us/us-centered, than it's not worth learning. If it is God-centered than it is." (Not exact quotes, but something along those lines, and all related to who to listen to for teachers of the Bible.)
Been thinking about that for a few days too.
(If nothing else, at least you know you say things that make me think... a lot.)
It seems to me, that would work better for debates on this forum. Because, you're right, most of it is people centered.
Only problem left is almost every time you say something it either takes me a few days to digest it, or I can't (digest it/get it.) You're a bit like Posthuman -- above my brain level most of the time, but I can get some of it here and there.
You talk a lot about grammar issues. I am below monoglot. I can only speak in English and I have trouble with even English grammar.
But this was to let you know I have been thinking about what you say, even got to make sense of it eventually, (and deep down I'm hoping this raises this topic back to the top again, since I am very tired of how often this forum comes down to cross-talking instead of real communication.)
