Re: On translation
If the Bible was "God-breathed" into the shell-like ears of the authors, then what they "had in mind" is irrelevant - just as what my computer "has in mind" is irrelevant to this post.
​
And if the authors were writing in 'pesher' as outlined in the Qumran Scrolls, then any modern-day interpretation is up the creek sans paddle

What a bunch of sophistry!

Ah, sophistry---the cornerstone of religion.(sample) I`ll match your interpretation and raise you two more interpretations and a partridge in a pear tree.

Edited by Nighttrain, : ABE added 'sample' so Rob doesn`t think I`m on the attack
