"Once again the question still stands. Why should we/ I accept your interpretation? Do you have formal training? Have you attended an accredited seminary?"

Once again, the question is answered. You should accept my interpretation because it uses ordinary interpretive rules used to understand written material. They are the same rules that you are using right this moment to understand what it is I am writing. The writer of the article is not using such reasonable interpretive techniques. And, yes, I do have formal training at an accredited biblical university. But, that is not the point. Everyone, anyone, can pick up the Bible and using ordinary hermeneutics, understand the writers intent. Suggestions to break from these techniques do not lead people to the truth.

I am pretty srue that you need to examine this verse very closely: 2 Peter 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

I am pretty sure it applies.
