No, not at all, I am reading the Bible and taking it at it's word, that's all.

Keep reading, you might see it.

If you'd only posted Scripture that would be true. But you posted your interpretation along with it and it is your interpretation that is in "light of your doctrine".

I know many Protestants find this surprising, but your interpretation of Scripture is not the same as Scripture.

From this statement, I take it that you have been trained in Koine Geek and Aramaic, the languages used to compile the original texts of the Bible as we know it. Surely then, you can sympathize with my pastor who is fluent in 8 languages and trained to interpret the ancient texts in their original languages of - Hebrew, Aramaic, Koine Greek and Latin. Excellent! At a recent gospel study, we read a certain gospel text and then were asked to give our opinions. Before doing so, Father reread the text out loud but hesitated on a certain English phrase. He ruffled his brow and resorted to the original Koine Greek text, explaining that the translation was valid but lacked the proper emphasis. He then attempted to find a word in English to qualify the 'tone' of the author's original Koine Greek text. This is what you do too, right?
