Show me one legitimate commentary that agrees with you.

I can't. I don't study different commentaries. At present I'm following the "take heed and follow no man" warning Christ gave us. When, and if, I feel well enough founded in His Word, then I will try to branch out. Until then, that is what the scripture tells me.

I take it then that you have copies of the original manuscripts for all the scriptures and you are fluent in Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek?

If you use a translation, then you are, by default, following some man or men.

While the Holy spirit teaches us all things, we are expected to test all things and to study to shew ourselves approved.

You are coming up with your interpretation of that passage based solely upon your understanding of the English grammar and your assumption that the translator was in agreement with your rather tortured grammatical interpretation of the English translation.

The fact of the matter is that NOBODY agrees with you on this one. So either you are a prophet on a mission from God to straighten us all out, or you are probably wrong. I'm going to go with the latter.

When, and if, I feel well enough founded in His Word, then I will try to branch out. Until then, that is what the scripture tells me.

No that is what you are telling you. The scriptures are saying something entirely different. If you don't believe me, then check with the experts. God put experts on this earth for us to consult. What other purpose could they serve?
