English well.

Sorry.

So true.

Okay.

I knew how to speak English well.

I knew what sounded idiomatic, even though I wasn't aware of a particular word

But if like somebody learned English as a second language came along and said, the blue little truck, I'm like, they sound funny.

And a lot of the church's deeper understanding of the faith over time is like that.

We know what we believe.

We know the Christian faith.

Here comes a heretic who says, the blue little truck and the red big truck.

And we say, you don't know how to speak Christian.

We don't speak Christian like that.

But we weren't even kind of conscious of it until it was challenged.

And then we're like, you know what?

We ought to write that rule down, okay?

Size precedes color.

And we weren't even quite aware of it because it was just so close to us that we weren't conscious of it.

So that's why I say all that the church has and believes can never be written down.

Some of the things that we believe are so close to us that like a fish in water, we're not aware and we're not going to be aware until a heretic comes along in the year 3000 and says, you know what, blah, blah, blah.
