No, BigSkyFreeper, you apparently misread both our posts. I'm saying we should all study and discuss the scripture.

I agree. MineralMan simply stated he's no Bible scholar, and it doesn't require one to interpret the meaning of the Word.

Bless you BigSkyFreeper. This is my last post about this. Following is what MineralMan actually wrote:

"Think about this, please: Are you competent to discuss these issues? Are you a full-time Biblical scholar? I'd be very careful not to put yourself in a position you can't defend.

As someone who has read the entire Bible half a dozen times cover to cover, and much of it many more times, I would not even begin to call myself a Biblical scholar. I can quote passages around the clock, but that does not make me a Biblical scholar, either.

I suspect that what you are doing here is regurgitating what someone else has told you, rather than passing on information based on your own scholarship."

He's asking if the poster was competent to discuss these issues. He is not saying that "it doesn't require one [a Bible scholar] to interpret the meaning of the Word."

But...at least you're writing in love and thinking the best of MineralMan as the scripture asks us to do.
