When reading such non-answers, one's left with the impression that Drake is stalling, buying time 'till the DCP committee can convene and come up with something plausible. I mean, the other poster already asked once; why make them ask twice?
I found similar non-replies when I tried to address the substance of Psalms footnotes: why was the psalmist's imprecation a type of Christ in one place, and natural concept in another? Eventually, all I got was, "Maybe this is so."
Maybe it's so, and maybe it's not so. If you're asking people to give up their lives and take your way, you should at least address their questions on their face, and not pretend to breezily wave them off, when in fact you have no answer.
"You are misunderstanding. . ." maybe not. . .maybe the other person is gaining understanding. . .Quick! Convene the DCP! The LSM is taking on water! Man the bilge pumps!
Sorry if the last bit seems mean-spirited, but I find it humorous: the sight of a ministry adamantly opposed to give-and-take being put in such a position.
But of course, Drake maybe only speaks for himself, and so my amusement may be self-created. . . pardon my mirth.
(But I'd bet that after that message, they all lined up at the microphone to exclaim that they'd never understood the restorative power of salt until then.)
