Couldn't God have 'inspired' someone to correct the worst mistakes by now?

That's why we have Bible and theology and other sortsa perfessers, so they can argue over who is correcting whom, but see it would not matter if any of them were actually right, i terms of ending controversies-- the whole thing about prophets is no one in their time or place believes them!

I just tell people this-- if your efforts to persuade have not borne good fruit, SOMEbody in the discussion isn't being what they say they mean to be, and usually it's TWO somebodies, not just one of them.
