There -- you just summed it up (below) -
So there'll be no more confusion right?? Why do I doubt it.
The only problem I have -- and it's no offense to you but it's why I get

Does God have to write it across to sky for everyone to believe it? It
is cut and dried, no questions, streamlined process --- no opinion
involved whatsoever. I'm not saying you don't believe it -- but many
people don't still, for some reason.
