"Actually, I don't give a rip what "some think." I read the Word of God and trust His Spirit to illuminate its meaning, which He does to those who seek Him. Most people don't do that and therefore do not understand the meaning of God's Word--the Bible is clear on that point."

So your interpretation of the Bible is the correct one in all matters, and anyone who disagrees with your interpretation is wrong? I get it.

That's not what I said. I said it is the Holy Spirit Who illuminates the meaning of His Word to us--as is written--because the Word of God is spiritually discerned only. The mind of natural man, without God's Spirit, cannot understand His Word, as is also written.
