[Cronos]

Why do you look for reasons to reject the clear words of God?

Oh, I don't -- I think you (unconsciously) do by looking at the trees not seeing the forest.

you forget completely the FACT that in the M-E cousins, even nephews (as in the case of Lot) were called brothers, brethern. Since you do not understand this or know this, you dismiss it and replace it with erroneous statements. I wouldn't say you are lying as I think you genuinely believe you see the truth, but the fact is that you err (twice as we've shown), you err purely because a quote-based faith errs -- it's like someone trying to understand Casablanca when they are only shown the quotes ("Play it again Sam", "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship") -- you don't see or know what's happened. What you see in one quote may be true, but it doesn't encompass the meaning of the movie or by analogy, of scripture.

Do I know the meaning of scripture in entirety as an induhvidual? Nope. But as part of The Church, yes I (or rather WE) do.
