Didn't say a week meant a year. Week means a period of seven

I'm sorry, you are right. You said a week is seven years. Find that in the dictionary. Literally.

and I used *shock* the Bible to interpret the passage. It is that way in the Bible.

Who's arguing with you? What I am saying is what you are doing is not called being "literal." 70 weeks, literally means 70 times 7 days=490 days. Not 490 years. Literally.

Now if you want to use the english dictionary to perform scriptural interpretation thats fine by me, but it will seriously hamper any real study of the Word.

Say what? Are you going for Sentence of the Day, cause I think you've won? Using an English dictionary will seriously hamper any real study of the Word? LOL

(He shudders to ask about a Greek dictionary)

"70 weeks, literally means 70 times 7 days"

No. It LITERALLY means 70 sevens.

Young Mr. Pedant; Word (capatilized W) is generally considered to represent Scripture among Bible Reading Christians, particularly when discussing Scripture. Is this a foreign concept to you?
