I never addressed the verse in Matthew.
I'm curious though, what exactly makes any of us an "armchair theologian" as opposed to you, who I assume, feel is a real theologian or minister?
I've read your posts for a few years now, and I like many of them, but one thing you certainly aren't is a theologian. You ARE at best a folk theologian, more interested in the dogma you accept and identifying verses you can use or manipulate to support them than you are in true systematic theology.
So if my study of systematic theology and belief that some of the dogmas of the church are incorrect and just pathetic theology makes me an "armchair" theologian in your mind...then I am proud to be such rather than being the kind of weak theologian you come off as. The fact hat you do little more than attack and make remarks meant to offend most of the time about those who you disagree with tells me you have no alternative. You can't argue on facts, so you attack.
Typical of your generation of ministers. Brow beat, belittle and assault until someone bows to the "man of god" and his opinion. Submission over scriptural truth.
