Just because I didn't answer in the way, that you expected, asking for clarification is a better approach for us, I am sure.  I can not read your thoughts from your mind to mine.  So I answered as I perceived it.  Jesus had this same problem and issue...so he used parables, and examples from nature and life to tell many of His thoughts, as I am sure you are aware.  We are of not that mindset in these days.  We want clarity in concise answers.   An issue, I might add, many of Jesus' time wanted as well.  Jesus' response about this in 23 Scripture verses was that He spoke in parables, so they would not understand, but He spent time explaining to the Apostles.  For me, He wants us to discuss important issues amongst ourselves without recrimination, or a sense of superiority over others.  A open, honest discussion with a sense of safety, respect, and equality can develop true, loving, and merciful relationships...Overbearing dictates do not. My answer:  Parables/examples.
