I'm not my ancestors. Some of my ancestors were evil. I won't take credit for what they did right and reject any blame for their evil. You're not your ancestors. Some of them may have been godly. Some of them may have been victims. You're not them.

Cohesion implies a unity which adhesion does not.
If a label is glued to another surface that is adhesion.
If a single substance clings together and resists efforts to separate that is cohesion.
People may be united and yet not have unity. That is not cohesion. (Example: USA)

The fact that they have official codifications of what they believe demonstrates that they do not believe the Bible to be all-sufficient. First century Christians relied on the scriptures and on the doctrines revealed thru apostles and prophets during the first century not on Creeds and Catechisms.

Inspiration is "defined" by 2 Peter 1:20-21.
The word translated "interpretation" is NOT referring to the one who reads but rather to the original writers.

Although I expect that my view of inspiration differs from yours, I do believe that God used the personalities and the cultures of those with whom He worked.
Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Isaiah were contemporaries.
All the original apostles had grown up in a limited region but Paul in a Roman colony.

First, I am not upset.
Second, maybe you did not mean to imply that there are only two worlds when you wrote "There are two worlds within Christianity".
You also wrote "there's basically no way to have bridge that divide."
I believe that men wrote what God told them to write. 2 Peter 1:20-21

It is likely possible that there are some religious groups who fit your 2nd description but if you mean it to apply to all who believe that the scriptures are of divine origin that is a gross misrepresentation.

Any religion which is false does more harm than good.
If God does not exist then any religion which claims God exists is false.

One of the main reasons FW fizzled under Adobe was they focused on a least important feature.
They focused on FW's ability to slice an image and create html code for reassembling. The code was NOT clean.
FW shined at editing and exporting Jpgs. Multiple areas of quality of export.
