You are succumbing to the fallacy of the excluded middle, also known as the false dilemma.

Well maybe bro Igzy. I'm just explaining what happened after reading Tomes article. As I explained early on in this thread, I'm left with using "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe, pick a textual scholar by the toe, my mother told me to pick the very best one."

As I see it Nigel is not just pulling the rug out from under Lee, but, prolly unintentionally, pulling the rug out from under the Bible too.

Friedel has it, the only way to overcome this conundrum: We should live by faith and the Spirit, and not make Lee's mistake, nor Nigel's error, of going to the Bible scholars for the meaning of the words in the Bible. Else we risk ending up in the land of uncertainty.

To me Lee going to those like Kittel knocks him down right there. Cuz he wasn't going to the Spirit ... like I believed he was while in the LC.

No insult meant but maybe you ought to read Nigel's article again:
