Perhaps because the foundation of man-made organizations that reveal weaknesses and faults, as this thread is about, should never be considered our foundation, but Christ instead.

Maybe, but unless that's explained, we're only guessing.

Well, when people just hint as to what they mean, anybody can interpret it any old way. So, sometimes explaining things outright is better.

I just wrote to a brother in the Lord about the thoughts of vague and nebulous messages, and so I prefer bluntness. lol Paul said he used great plainness of speech in the New covenant ministry since it was the Old that was veiled and unclear.
