And as for "hyper-literal interpretation"- are the men in Israel who are presently training and preparing to serve as priests in the soon-to-be-rebuilt Temple wasting their time? Are they just going through the training for kicks and giggles? Talk about "arrogant". There's no arrogance on the face of the earth worse than the fallen human being who is presented with proof positive of the ongoing fulfillment of Bible prophecy (which, if you believe God, was written by Him) and blatantly denies and lies about what is happening right in front of his face. And does so knowing that others will see that denial and be influenced to reject Christ because of it. The person who does that holds the market on arrogance. To deny God and state that part of His Scriptures are not true??? That is the definition of arrogance.
Speaking of "chopping up the Bible", and "arrogance", what did you guys do with the book of Revelation when you ripped it out of the Bible?

Read the epistle to the Hebrews, then you tell me.
