Except that I am giving scripture to support them. As a matter of fact, the pearls are verses of scripture.Your presumption is overwhelming.
Rather see as written in God's Word:
1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord ...
[Search domain biblehub.com/1_peter/3-15.htm] 1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that you have. But respond with gentleness and respect,
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Christian Standard Bible but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
When you give an idea, without a Scriptural reason or support, there is no known Scriptural support to accept it nor to , as if, study it , nor to learn it.
Your pearls appear as dross, without any Scripture to support them.
My rationale is found in Proverbs 12:23 and Proverbs 15:7. These seem to contradict but I have found a way to reconcile them in my style of preaching.
You can look them up or not...your choice.
