Billion people or not, what God says goes.

Who set you up as the authority to determine "what God said" for other people?

I've made no such claim to be any authority. My statement about what God says goes, is acurate. What God says trumps what I believe, and what God says trumps what billions believe. If I'm deceived because I misunderstand the Word of God, then I'm deceived, but what God really said still goes... If a billion are deceived because they misunderstand the Word of God, then they're deceived, but what God really said still goes... "Let God be true and every man a liar."

It's that whole protestant "priesthood of the self" bidness...

Reminds me back in college when a boy claimed that everything written in the Bible was to be taken verbatim as written, but that drinking and dancing were not allowable. Yep, he pulled the ol' Jesus turned water into grape juice at Cana line, and then said that David's dancing and leaping before the Lord was "spiritual leaping". They can't have it both ways. (And let's not even get into errors or misunderstandings in translation--anyone who translates from one language to another realizes that he is also INTERPRETING the words). /rant
