There is no basis to apply that kind of "statistical" logic to the Bible. we know holiness, oneness, godliness, righteousness, mercy, kindness, grace, etc. are all mentioned by the Bible and we don't rank them by instances to determine what is more important than another. All are important, relevant, desirable, and applicable in the christian life.

I disagree. Thankful Jane is not using statistics, i.e. "the fallacy of instances," to determine her faith or to interpret scripture. Neither is she dismissing oneness from from the Bible. Please go back and reread her post.
