Dear Gubei,

You obviously cannot follow the nuances of English. You keep latching on things I am saying and making an issue about minutia in a way that no one who clearly understands English would do. You seem to want to "win" every single point, to the point of totally missing the point I was making. You miss the forest for the trees. You keep arguing with your own misinterpretations of what I say. I'm sure it's great fun for you, but I feel a little left out since I didn't say half the stuff you want to insist I did.

I've never been interested in debating your "model" because you've never been able to define it clearly. I've been debating the ground of locality doctrine in general. You keep wanting to steer me to talk about your ideas.

But I'm unable to that because you've presented them as such gobbledygook that I don't exactly know what you believe. Your views seem to be so complicated and so scripturally threadbare that every church is going to need a cadre of lawyers just to prove to you they are legitimate, so you don't "condemn" them.
