If you can’t state your principle, such that it can be objectively applied by others, then what else can I assume?

As it stands, you have basically said that there is a special way to interpret the Bible in order to get the real meaning, but you will not divulge the method so that others can apply it. So, essentially, if you were correct, you would be appointing yourself “Pope” of Biblical interpretation, since nobody else could reliably interpret anything, not having access to this secret principle of yours.

Now, obviously that is ridiculous and cannot be true. God did not reserve the truth of Scripture for you alone. So, I am left only with the possibility that your principle doesn’t really exist, or why else would you not divulge it?

I've told you the principle, to rightly divide the word as we're instructed to do:

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth

I guess that may not mean much to some but to me it means to think of the situation and use discernment to put the verses being studied in the proper context.

As it stands, you have basically said that there is a special way to interpret the Bible in order to get the real meaning, but you will not divulge the method so that others can apply it.

Of course there is a special way to understand God's Word! It's not meant for hypocritical Pharisees, scripture lawyers with evil intentions, or those who do not study to show themselves approved. Jesus himself said it is meant for only those that He wants to understand:

Luk 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

All you have to do is study and you're approved.

So, essentially, if you were correct, you would be appointing yourself “Pope” of Biblical interpretation, since nobody else could reliably interpret anything, not having access to this secret principle of yours.

I am not pope. "Pope" means "father". Only God is father. I simply study to show myself approved. Anyone can do the same if they would just not be so hard-headed and listen to the Word like a child would. Some are so filled with political correctness that they would rather play gotcha with a race card, as an example, rather than opening their mind to God's word to have further understanding.

Now, obviously that is ridiculous and cannot be true. God did not reserve the truth of Scripture for you alone.

There will be 7000 of us, not just me. Only 7000 will not worship antiChrist when he arrives. The rest are more into playing games and playing church rather than preparing themselves for the great deceiver. It's so easy to one of the 7000 out of 7 billion, don't fall for the great deceiver.

So, I am left only with the possibility that your principle doesn’t really exist, or why else would you not divulge it?

It takes study.

His “principle” is old fashoned “White Supremacy.”
