No, the actual Bible verses, which I post here for you (New International Version). I made no mention of Martin Luther, only of your refusal to consider the Scripture cited. You can give up the Martin Luther strawman any time.

2nd Peter 1:20

20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.

Acts 8:29-35 (31 seems the most relevant)

29The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it."

30Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.

31"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture:
"He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before the shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth."[a]

34The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?" 35Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

By the way, as a Bible believer (interesting that you don't tend to capitalize the word), you do of course cover your hair at church, right?

1 Corinthians 11:6

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

I was first use 2nd Peter 1:20 in the thread. Sorry to burst your bubble. Then NYer used it in some further justification with the help of Martin Luther. Hence my reply to Nyer about him in reply to me.
