That these things have given me pause and that I am asking some hard questions does not mean I am wishy washy in my faith or that I am seeking another way.
I don't have a bad attitude or spirit and those who would be called 'PCI' in belief surely understand this.
By the same token, if TB or anyone else asks us to give proof for why we believe as we do, I do NOT believe it is with an attitude of "show me", rather he earnestly is asking.
IMHO, sir, you are way off base in your assumption of the elder's intent...

That's your opinion and you're are welcome to it, maam, but you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
For the record, I can't believe for a moment that an 'elder' would be so novice in requiring such redundancy. Do we see repentence with redundancy? No! Are we to assume that it was not there? If anybody's assumtions are without merit and off base, it is that of anyone that requires redundancy to their personal satisfaction in order to
prove to them, what the Word has already proven with plenty of instances.
Therefore, if not novice, then the prevential demand for more proof, where plenty is given, is of poor attitude, IMHO.
An 'elder' ought to have a better approach to the Word than that, unless there be an agenda, not of truth seeking, but rather status quo keeping of, if nothing else, one's personal theology.
