**..Here’s another one you both have most likely never read:
“And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3:15-16**
I’ve most likely never read it? Must have been my ghostwriter that alluded to it in my post to you:
Excerpt from post 73: ....Peter is teaching about the God inspired accuracy of the true prophets. He then moves on to false prophets and teachers in the next chapter, continuing that teaching, even to people wrestling with the scriptures ‘unto their own destruction’ in closing chapter 3. ....
I shall go back and look at some of metmom’s various comments to see if she has been taking verses out of context as well, and give my opinion to her if need be, since I don’t want to be a respecter of persons.
As far as ‘interpreting Scripture’ is concerned, there is a great deal of it that doesn’t need interpreting. It just needs to be believed and obeyed (as per the Lord and his apostles instructions). There’s a lot of ‘believers’ it seems, but not very many ‘obeyers’.
Exactly.
The only reason some people want to hard for there to be multiple interpretations is so that they don't have to obey the clear teachings of Scripture.
