“I said that everything in the gospel has a meaning that is relevant for me.”

So your chosen hermeneutic is not what God wrote, but what you think it means to you.

No. Once again, you have taken the opportunity to put the most negative construction on what I said. But deliberately putting a negative construction on another’s words is not rational argument.

By “me” I meant all human beings who read the gospel.

I was not referring to my private interpretation. I was referring to the objective intention of the author of the gospel. HE did not put anything into the gospel that would not be of spiritual significance to every reader of the gospel.

If the reported exchange about Mary and John was only about Mary and John’s relationship, and not about Mary’s relationship to every human being, then it would not be in the gospel.
