"Biblical quotes are open for interpretation and that is why there are a lot of ministers and different religions because nobody has the perfect answer in many circumstances. The belief that one is making a correct decision in some matters is an element of faith. But people even disagree about matters of faith and attempting to cloud personal decision by passing judgement on one is interfering and can be also considered a sin."

Yes indeed the Bible is open for interpretation by man. Interesting though it is filled with instruction and many ignore what we are told. We are told to test the fruits. Passing judgment the kind we are told NOT to do is the status of ones soul. Thus far only ONE has been named Biblically to judgment of the lake of fire, and a few unnamed. That is why we are told to plant seeds of truth, because it Christ that saves NOT man.

It is refreshing to see we agree in basic principle.
The Bible has been a great rally for people as well as a great divider because every unique individual finds something different in it's passages.
Unique circumstances require unique translations and that is where we disagree upon the final resolution of the Schiavo case.
