I write a lot, but also agree with the "don't overthink it" school. I write because I enjoy writing, not because I alone have the truth and I'm endeavouring to bludgeon a recalcitrant world into submission.
For some reason I've come to tremendously appreciate the simplicity and power of Peter's gospel. "This Jesus God has raised up, and made both Lord and Christ". The Jesus who in Lee's hands became the sevenfold intensified pneumatic processed Father Christ doesn't impress me as much as "this Jesus" that Peter speaks of in Acts 2. We can either say that possibly Peter didn't get all those Local Church extras, or maybe Peter got everything.
The Jesus that Peter saw every day, to me beats the "Christ who became" this and that via Lee's mental machinations. But that's just my subjective enjoyment. Lee had his, I have mine.
