The key is to start talking about the Scriptures \u2013 the \u2018this\u2019. We\u2019ll get so in harmony over \u2018this\u2019, \u2018that\u2019 will be irrelevant. Your \u2018that\u2019 is different from my \u2018that\u2019? No problem, bro, we\u2019re in sync on \u2018this\u2019, fill your boots!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nIs \u2018that\u2019 all clear?

P.S. Please take this in a light-hearted spirit. I think I get what Dave is saying, but, wow, trying to wade through all the \u2018this\u2019es and \u2018that\u2019s is getting to me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I\u2019m a little confused by Dave\u2019s latest. I think it might be the unspecificity of \u2018this and that\u2019. I\u2019m sort of getting lost the further he goes using these terms.
