Hi caldron68,

ICANT falls outside of the mainstream of Christian thinking, as pointed out by myself and DevilsAdvocate.
I had to comment on this. I know what I am saying falls outside of what has always been preached.
But when did the masses believing something make it true.
God's Word is true.
What I believe is not always true.
In the final analysis the only thing that matters is what God says.
God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Hi DA,

So now you are the only one who speaks for the voice of God? What arrogance!
How did you get that from this:

It doesn't matter what you say.
It doesn't matter what I say.
God is the final authority, therefore the only thing that matters is what He says, whether I say the same thing or not.

Re: Care to counter this interpretation ICANT?
Hi DA,
I think I made it very clear what I believe the interpertation is.
in Message 350 in which I gave 2 rules of Bible Analysis.
ICANT writes:
But I am presently teaching a course I took in college of Bible Analysis and when I got into this with caldron68 I applied the rules I am teaching and this passage has nothing to do with unsaved people.
Here are the two rules:
A. The Five Point Question Rule.
(1) Who is speaking or writing?
(2) To whom or about whom is he speaking or writing?
(3) About what subject is he speaking or writing?
(4) When or about what time is he speaking or writing?
(5) What is the occasion for the speaking or writing?
B. The Proper Application Rule.
(1) The general application of a truth or deed to every person.
(2) The particular application of a truth or deed to an individual or particular group.
I applied those rules and came to my conclusions.
In Message 354 you said:
Yes, those are the rules of hermeneutics i.e. theories of correct interpretation of biblical scripute. I have been to Bible college as well.
If there is anyone here that can not take those rules and apply them to Matthew 7:13, 14 and get the proper understanding of the scripture
nothing I could add would make a difference.
God Bless,
