>>Since Jewish Rabbis don't approve of anything in the New Testament, are you going to throw it all out the same way you threw out seven books of the Old Testament because Rabbis don't approve of some of those books or just keep on revising the New Testament to fit with your own personal interpretation of Scriptures?<<

Who said anything about anyone approving anything? I said if the books contain obvious errors and contradictions they are not to be considered inspired by the Holy Spirit since the Holy Spirit would not inspire error.

didn't read that, didn't need to

When those who interpret Scriptures to suit themselves come to a direct quote of Jesus Christ that doesn't agree with their own interpretation of Scriptures, is it the infallible opinion of the interpreter that Jesus Christ lied or that Jesus Christ was too stupid to say what He meant?

Among the infallible who interpret Scriptures to suit themselves are many churches that ordain queers and claim their own infallible interpretation of Scriptures proves that ordaining queers is a good thing. If an infallible interpreter of Scriptures has their own personal interpretation of Scriptures that doesn't approve of ordaining queers, why isn't the fact that such infallible interpreters of Scriptures insist that Jesus Christ couldn't make Himself clearly understood reason enough to admit that ordaining queers might be just fine since Christ couldn't say what he meant?

When an infallible interpreter of the Bible denies that Jesus Christ said what he meant, does that mean that Christ was stupid, that the interpreter has special secret knowledge, that the interpreter is so much smarter than Christ that the interpreter can divine the true meaning even though Christ misspoke, or that the Bible does contain errors but only those errors the infallible interpreter defines as they see fit based on their own personal interpretation of Scriptures?
