I have not once asked you to take my word for anything. What I have repeatedly asked you is to you simply forsake the limits of your own understanding and human arrogance and seek the greater understanding of God's word. But I am repeating myself.

I have given you plenty to consider in a search for truths greater than that of your own understanding. If you are in fact seeking those truths. The Bible says that the power is in the seed of His word and not the sower. So I will leave you to ponder what I have wrote and beseech you again, to forsake just for a moment, the limits and the arrogance of your own understanding, a seek the greater understanding of God's word.

I'll be back later to see if you've learned anything.

My understanding of it and yours will not jibe (as yours will not jibe with folks' understanding if they come from a different denomination). One could then ask, why doesn't my understanding have equal or greater validity than yours? Mine at least tries for something objective, rather than the subjective experience of "divine revelation."
