You are trying to minimize the importance of something which is extremely important. And here's why: And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. (Gen 17:1) God always chooses His words carefully, so there was a very significant reason for this choice of words. I am not quibbling but trying to set you straight.
