"I can't pick up a horse . Big Mack lies a lot !"
This sort of illustrates some of the problems that we have with interpreting Scripture,IMVHO. I think Big Mack was speaking of you going somewhere to accept delivery of a horse, or something like that, so he said you wen to "pick up a horse" . Then the posters started having fun with that, as if it meant that you were physically lifting a horse [not stealing it :)].
If common statements in "modern everyday language can be interpreted in different ways, just think how much more translations of translations of translations (Hebrew -Greek-Latin-English) can be subject to inaccurate interpretation .
that's why Christ provided His Church with a magisterium .

I seem to recall you guys providing it about 500 years after Christ. Quit blaming him for stuff.
