Fascinating. You are the one who disrespects the epistles of Paul and the book of Revelation - and have argued that the Scriptures are full of errors.

We (at least most of us) on the other hand receive Scriptures as a revelation of God. We don't dismiss Scriptures for any reason.

I choose to believe God.

Amen to you.

I don't disrespect them. I disagree with their Protestant interpretation. The Scriptures are, unfortunately, full of errors. That is a fact.

I can assure you you that so do I. It is our mode of reception that differs.

I don't dismiss Scriptures. Rather, many Gnostics do.

I choose to believe God

Herein lies the problem: what you believe may not be God or even from God. You dismiss human error that has corrupted the Scriptures. Indeed, you seem to incorporate the revelation along with human corruption into an indistinguishable whole. I don't.

I sift, and if I am not sure I don't make up rationalizations. I don't add vowels, or commas, or whole verses. Nor do I erase anything. How can one and the same inspired author use different vocabulary, prose, meter or grammar? To me that is not as easy to ignore as it is to others, most of whom don't even known that there is a problem with vocabulary, prose, meter and grammar. I guess ignorance is bliss. And it could be a choice.
