George,
Must something be defective because not everything is mentioned? Is a
chemist's discussion of NaCl crystals somehow faulty because she failed
to mention that copper sulfide (the common experiment heating copper and
sulfur) does not match the formula assumed from valences? Does the work
of the Godhead always have to be allotted to distinct members of the
Trinity? Granted, sin and redemption are not the only matters which
necessarily connect to the incarnation. But does everything have to be so
carefully focused?
