I think you'll find that, not only do dogs bark whether they get hit or not (there are many reasons dogs bark), RecoveringPhilosopher does the same. He's just like that. Maybe it's a Nietzschean thing.

Read verse 39 and 40 very carefully. I think that people who press for the inerrancy of scripture can be guilty of relying only on the interpretation of scriptures for truth and miss the focus that Jesus placed on loving others. Another way of saying this perhaps is I don't believe we connect to God based on our correct understanding of scripture, but upon our correct focus on what Jesus said to focus---loving others.

Don't flatter yourself, it's unbecoming. It is the arrogant presumption of one I hold in such low regard that enrages me.
