Textualist? Perhaps, because I don’t see divine scripture as needing human re-interpretation. Perhaps this is a Catholic thing, which makes it possible for you to accept such modifications. I hope that you challenge your assumptions every living day, so that the quest for the Truth is never given up on.
I won’t accept re-interpretations, especially not for verses that are plain, simple, and unambiguous. It is impossible for me to accept contorted, MANMADE re-interpretations of such verses, twisting them to such an extent that they are forced to mean the opposite of what they really convey.
Intellectually speaking you are your own worst enemy.

I’m much the same way—particularly on those plainly worded verses.
