Now, you may wish to believe otherwise, but your Bible says it's not your will or choice.

Evidently on your reading, dear kosta: You read the scriptures as if they were legal documents, challenging the authority of every line, setting yourself up as the ultimate arbiter of the meaning of the text....

I don't read them that way. To me they are the Word of God and thus of unquestionable authority. They are His self-revelation to us, "told truly, though not exhaustively."

So I don't know how we "get on the same page," kosta dear.

BTW, it's not "my" Bible. It is THE Bible.
