Yeah, a specific religion is a VERY tall order. And for members of those specific religions, checking out all the jots and tittles is fraught with peril. For instance, OT and NT both agree women cannot instruct men in matters of religiosity, and AFAIK, the Seventh Day Adventists use a Bible with the same restriction and simultaneously follow Ellen White. It's the only thing one needs to know about Seventh Day Adventism; by their own Scripture, they ain't doing it right. No one needs to go a jog further into their false religion to realize it is essentially disordered from the get go. Too bad, I suppose, for the literal fools and gullibles they have suckered into their scammy mess, but their odds of doing better are scarcely any better anywhere else.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
