The exegesis is interesting. Somehow I think it should be modified to also note that there is precedent for changing scripture when mistakes have been made. The fact that this scripture hasn't been changed yet could mean that a) no one has had a chance to carefully consider the arguments as laid out on the commentary page, b) such arguments have been considered and it was decided to leave the current scripture unchanged. If a, we might see this scripture change in the future. If b, then the exegesis is interesting historical information but more important is what the scriptures say. --Matthew Faulconer 15:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I like the suggestion about noting the precedent for changing scripture. Additionally, the exegesis could be summarized into the main idea with a link to a discussion page that gives the elaborate discussion and references. I will not undertake doing the summary at this point because it reflects my personal preference more than anything else, but if there is some consensus I would be happy to do it.

Here's my consensus. does anyone have any objections? --Matthew Faulconer 05:23, 1 Jun 2006 (UTC)
