But, Topper, "exegesis" is exactly your problem. Jesus never said to "exegete" His Word. He said to "believe it".

Jesus never said to fly in an airplane either, but it is useful for getting to your destinction.

But I get what you are saying. You can't do it, so your are satisfied to just pooh-pooh it when others do it.

"You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me." (John 5:39)

"Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so." (Acts 17:10,11)

Your "exegeses" of His Word make it "unbelievable".

Only to those who have nothing useful to compare it against.

And your emperor still is not wearing any clothes.

I'm a mere boot polisher -- you'll have to talk to the emperor about that.
