But the private interpreters who hold other views claim to have come to them logically too.

Key word here is "claim".

So because everyone claims to be logical, logic should not be attempted?

Of course everyone "claims" that their views are logical in order to win. Liberals, for example, do it constantly. Do we cede them the field, declaring that logic isn't possible anyway?

Is God not logical? Then we must strive to understand Him using the reasoning facilities he has given us.

There is nothing wrong with reading the Scripture, then attempting to come to logical conclusions about it; yet you denigrate the poster who has done so.

I notice that you don't attempt to use logic to refute his/her observation from the Scripture. You only sneer that he attempts an interpretation.

If two personal Scriptural interpretations differ yet claim to be logical, it is not my responsibility to discern the logic in either one. By the standard of personal Scriptural interpretation, I can come up with my own interpretation as long as I can find the logic in it.
