		I understand what you were saying.  I just take a metaphysical consequence approach to Scripture (I plan on writing a book on the subject), so I tend to believe that the Inspired Word is written like it is for a reason.  I agree that, to Jesus, the whole thing was a non-issue; people were being assholes and wanted to trip him up, and he saw through it.  But I also believe that God would have inspired it to be written a little differently if He wanted us to believe in absolute libertarianism or whatever else.
