Re: Why All The Details?

So what happens to those who don't study the details or to those who do study but get it wrong (eg BluffTHIS).

Salvation is by faith in Christ, not knowing the Bible by heart. God allots to each a measure of faith and ability. There is a huge amount of the Bible with which I only have a passing familiarity, but the longer I live the more I learn from it. Each is capable of a certain amount and God is just in judging.
The particular doctrine involved here, the image of God in man, is a very helpful study for Christians, as it identifies us to a certain extent, thus answering one of the most basic questions of the human soul. There are other uses as well.
