as you listen to me, you get smarter and smarter.....

FOTFLOL!

Spiritual truths are spiritually discerned.

.....self interpretation of the Bible in Dangerous and highly inefficient.....brilliant people have studied, some devoting their entire lives, to the interpretations of the Bible....I pick a group (the ones who wrote it)try to understand what they say, and go with it....you, on the other hand, pick up a book (Bible), read through it a time or two, and come to the conclusion that you know exactly what the various authors, with various writing styles, writing in various languages, interpreted by various language interpreters know exactly what the authors meant....and condemn others who think (know) that you are in error....O.K. I guess.

Fine. Pick a verse and we'll post some links to commentaries and we can compare and see how far off from each other they are.

unless you eat of the flesh of the son of man and drink of His blood....

thou art Peter (petros) and upon this rock I will build my church

take this and eat if it, this is My body which will be given up for you, take and drink from this, this is the chalice of my blood which will be given up for you.

I realize that there are a zillion misinterpretations of these (not entirely accurate quotations)commentaries, but that is the problem...if 2,000 different interpretations come in to your blog, doesn't that tell you that you should let those, far more capable than you, interpret scripture??????
