Your alternative supposes that we can focus without the use of a lens. Our theological system is the lens through which we focus on the text. It's all blurry otherwise. But then, Amyraldism depends on bluriness, so I can see why we are being urged to focus on the text without our theological lens.
Ouch... I have been flirting with the 5 point position for some time, that is the main reason I started interacting on this board. I appreciate where you are coming from...
