Sentence of the day:
This is what we mean when we claim that the Holy Writings interpret themselves...all the parts shed light on each other...All it takes is reading and comparing.

I take this as a plus for scripture alone interprets scripture, welcome to our side SD. :-)

Excellent point, and I think comparing Scripture to Scripture is the best way to form correct interpretations, but I wouldn't use the phrase "all it takes".

Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. The sentence of the day is something I find absurd. Yesterday we had Havoc speak of how there is no private interpretation going on and today we have the simple "Scripture interprets Scripture" statement.

You might call it the daily "I just read the Bible" quote.
