And here I thought that one of the tenets of Bible Christians was that the Bible is easily understood. Now we find out that it is a kind of trap, to catch the prideful.

Scripture says it plainly. It's not like it's some new revelation, it's been there for 2000 years. It's just that some don't like it when it's quoted publicly where people are actually made aware of it. It offends the carnal and self-seeking. You can't attack the message so you attack the messenger. Are you a fool in this? Do you not know that attacking the messenger is the same as attacking the message and the one who sent it. Step lightly for your own sake.

I have attacked nobody, Havoc. I have been attacked plenty today for daring to ask questions and for pointing out inconsistencies.

Havoc, are you saying that when Jesus said that the flesh profits nothing He also meant His own flesh?

And as SD has pointed out, there are those filled with the Spirit that reach very different conclusions using Scripture, Church Authority and Tradition. But apparently, when that occurs, SD does not understand because the Spirit has not given SD that understanding. The Holy Spirit is not like some lightswitch that some, Havoc included, turns on and off depending on what he personally agrees with in Scripture.
