Didn't Jesus say, "Study the scriptures." This did not mean the New Testament, for it was not even written yet. I quote the Hebrew scripture which is the authority. If you understand the Hebrew scriptures, then you will better understand the Hebrew Scriptures. I am not against Bible, I am only against the way certain arguing Christians interpret it, the same way as their forefathers shoved anthropomorphic idolatry calling Jesus literally God. I do not claim to be smarter than you, my dear Jass brother, and I am sorry for sounding offensive. I am proud of your zeal and love for studying Bible, and I pray you will understand things deeper than most Biblical scholars. God bless you always and please accept my apologize. We have differences in how to interpret Bible. I judge by what is written and what the context of it is, as well as the historical background. If you want to believe Jesus is God, then that is your personal right to do so. If you are living sincere with God, and I think you are doing you best, then we let all "ouches" go. I will be a good girl and post my opinions with less emotion.
