The mormons say the same thing. They believe that the scriptures are true, in that they are translated or interpreted "correctly." You run the risk of being like the pharisees, who were like today's lawyers, and instead of teaching the plain truth, in the spirit of the law, instead looked for every loophole they could, in order to go around the law.
You must become as little children, Christ said, and that means it is so simple that even a child will comprehend it. Of course that is the "milk and honey", if you want to eat quail, you must trust in the Lord to provide it and no complaining.
Are the "you"s in this post directed personally at me?
Just curious.
