A) One can construct a connection between any 2 things, with a little creativity. B) The verse you cited was Revelation 21:1. The word "sea" there, in the Greek, was "thalassa." Seems the New Testament usages of it are all literal of the type of body of water, a literal "sea." Strong's Concordance says nothing about it being metaphorical anywhere. Checking the usages of the word "sea" in the Old Testament reflect this also. Do you have a source for claiming that there's a "Hebrew idiom" that "sea" means "wavering of the mind" ? If you don't, all of that is just exercise of the imagination.

I remember complaining not understanding what believing was. Because "believing" was used ubiquitously, it had many meanings. "Spiritual" was also overused. Definitely a removal in nuance of thought. Expression was reduced to to a limited set options. If our thoughts are limited to a certain set of possibilities . . . it certainly increases the chances that we're all like minded and of one accord . . . Right?
