You offered it up without provocation. You can claim peer pressure all day.

Of course, but "exegesis" seeks to explain the text, not erase it...next.....

no buts about it. don't accuse anyone of "needing scholars" if you understand the value of exegesis. yes, scholars help us understand what was written as an ancient letter..... glad you agree.

Did you get called out on false references to "sources"
No, I did not. Bernard reference several scholars. BTW, I count Bernard as a scholar as well [not to mention a fine Christian/Praying man]. Or, do we have to own Post-Doctoral works before we're deemed scholars? Silly!

YES. Affirmative. Glad you're getting it.
You eluded that he made scholastic references to points you are supporting. That was false.
