No I simply accept Scripture as God's word written and protected under his inspiration.
And where, EXACTLY, do I differ from this?
To pass the Bible off as a product of human hands is akin to saying man created his soul with his on hands.
No, I simply challenge any modern person's ability to be the end all and be all of interpreting what Scripture means, particularly in areas such as this. I will defer to Saints, but not to you.
Any conflict "between Scripture and reality" is man's problem, not Scrptures and certainly not God's.
As I said, this is way above my pay grade, but I haven't seen your credentials as St. Jerome to declare what "Scripture means." Otherwise we must be forced, by your logic to accept the Gospel of St. Blessed.
Somehow I don't think that attitude is gonna go over real good when we both meet The Man. I'm ready, willing and not only able but, in fact anxious. Are you?

You come up with a half baked idea for which you can find no scriptural reference or a Orthodox Theologian that agrees with you and I am twisting scripture.That is rich.
