30 [...] Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? 31 Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.(Acts 8)
20 Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation
(2 Peter 1)
We just saw how difficult it is to comprehend the concept of betrothal and marriage, and you see how much the cultural baggage of our time affects how we read the plainest scripture. This is the cultural barrier. We just saw how the Greek "eos" can be translated "till", until", "so long as", "even unto". "Charis" can be transalted with theological precision, "grace", or it can be the pedestrian-sounding "favor". This is the stuff da Vinci code is made, when modern whodonit writer imagination is superimposed on works of a distant century.
I see it sort of like the right to bear arms: a gun in every citizen's hand protects a strong republic the laws by which we can all agree on, a bible in every believer's hand protects a strong church, we can read it ourselves, we don't need the state or the government or whoever, telling us what it says.
