"Faith comes by hearing and understanding comes from knowledge, which comes by sight." - Augustine. He wasn’t the only one - "My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge!" - Hosea.
In summary, I do NOT claim total understanding or knowledge - we all see through DaGlass DARKLY - but that does not mean we shouldn't look.
Discovering truth is a process - not an end state for us mortals - just as discerning good from evil takes practice - Hebrews 5:11-6:2.
That 'Let us begin' phrase is just a habit of mine intended for your average reader - not you, bionic - you began long ago. We're all in the process if we're digging - the problem is too many folks have no sense of having to do so, since they 'have it all covered'.:)
