The Role of Hyperbole in Christian Orthodoxy

I was saying our interpretation has become so rigid that anyone who says there is another way to see the biblical text that actually makes more sense, we no longer have to listen to them. We simply draw the boundaries and push them out of the church and say they are heretics. And it's so absolutely ironic because reading hierarchy into the Trinity is one of the oldest paracys we know of. So I always tell my students who think differently on this issue than I do, let's come and we'll reason together with Scripture.
