I have been doing biblical exegesis for 30 years - so shut up. You are in error.
Nice pride going on there.
That shut up was said in love, right?

I see we haven’t learned anything about humility in that 30 years, have we.

LOL... just because you claim to have being doing it does not mean you are doing it with any understanding. Your emotional outburst demonstrates that you know that.
Open wide your heart to Christ. Let Him lead you, not some silly man-made notional of individual magisterical superiority garnered from a false man-made doctrine of sola scriptura. Come into the light.
doing Biblical exegesis is not the same as translating greek into english but you knew this.
Ahhhhhh.....an appeal to authority. That typically Catholic creature, usually so despised by Protestants.
You must yield to me for I have greater authority in this matter; I have studied Scripture for 30 years. In the end, it is important, isn't it? In order to press your point there's nothing else left, is there? When conflicting personal views on Scripture collide, it's quite amusing to see Protestants reverting to that horrific Catholic practice of asserting that correct interpretation of Scripture requires a certain authority.
The number of years that you have been doing exegesis does not lend any credibility to faulty conclusions.
You are taking a passage in Isaiah, comparing it to passages in Revelation and Peter ... and then drawing a conclusion without addressing the historical-grammatical issues that this comparison presents, not to mention the translation issues.
What is your view on translations? Are you a KJV Only advocate or do you just have a complaint against the NIV at this particular issue?
