I really appreciate the thoroughness of your teaching above. And, as Trivium says, you are well read.

The one thing I can offer to the discussion comes from Ernest Holmes, who summarized it thusly, “Yeshua was the Great Example, not the Great Exception.”

And it is that simple teaching that gives me the hope of living. There’s nothing for me to strive for or to do, for that which Yeshua was, I AM.
