My faith is in Christ, not in James.
And so it is for all who know and believe the truth.
But for one rather large group of "believers" their whole existence depends on their interpretation of numerous scriptures in the Bible that are rather like an elephant in the room but are ignored anyway and are swept aside by some gobblegook explanation that these scriptures cannot be accepted as written since they are in direct opposition to the "party line" and do not mean what they say and are to be ignored and can only be correctly interpreted by some higher earthly authority of their own belief who are appointed by others in authority of their own belief.
(Should be no room for misunderstanding there, right)?
Sounds like a lock to me!
Was it not Thomas Jefferson who is said to have taken a pen knife and deftly cut out those scriptures in his Bible he did not accept as necessary?
And Martin Luther, who just tossed aside entire books from the Bible he didn't like?
