Re: This is how it is supposed to be interpreted
Hi Phat!
I would argue that at least some Christians are more qualified to comment on what Jesus means for us today rather than throwing him away and keeping a 2000-year-old message in a book with which to defend your point.
Except multiple thousands of wildly varying groups shouting over each other telling us what Jesus really said invalidates your entire point. None of you have proved to have any better idea than any of the rest of us. Look at the nonsense here on our own pages...ICANT and creation can't even decide on the number of Adam and Eve creatures wandering through the first pages of the Bible. You guys act beyond absurd.
One does not do a plain literal reading of a 2000-year-old "message and apply it to modern society in a modern context.
One does not! Because we know better, so much better than 4,000 year old superstitious scribes! We actually know better! So do all of you. That's why you all wriggle and writhe out of the true, original meaning of Scripture in a variety of bizarre "Interpretations" in a crazy attempt to align their primitive morality to the modern human.
... what Jesus means for us today rather than throwing him away and keeping a 2000-year-old message in a book with which to defend your point.
I understand what you want to say here, but it is also absurd. The only, only, ONLY way you know anything about your "living, moving, and coming" Saviour, is because he is talked about in that 2000 year old book you would reject in place of His PERSON.
Very circular belief.
