"This is assuming that you have complete understanding of G_d's word. Do you read the Bible in Greek, Hebrew, or English?"

I always fiqured this was immaterial. If God is powerful enough to speak into existence everything in a flash, then He certainly can invoke His will to mere men to transcribe His points properly. I consider it much like you'd see a car operations manual. It may be written in different languages, but the intent and written instruction maintaining the vehicle gets you to the same point/objective.

Good point. If the will of God isn't clear and is only available to a tiny few who can read dead languages, the words aren't worth much.

I think we may be arguing the same point. The ultimate goal is salvation through Jesus. If that be the case, why argue about the meaning of days in Genesis and other arbitrary factoids that people some folks seem to dwell on. I am not trying to minimize the scripture, but people have gleaned individual quotes out of the bible to serve their own purposes. These motivations were usually those of man and not those of G_d. Slavery would be a good example.
I have enjoyed our discussion thus far.

I read today's paper in English; but I STILL don't know what's going on in this country!!!
