Whoops! Let's try that again:

Paul leaves no one in doubt as to what he is saying. There is no interpretation to be made. He states clearly that the gospel which he preached was a direct revelation of Christ, not taught to him by man, nor received of him by man.

Am I disputing that?

There is no interpretation to be made.

That in itself is an act of interpretation.

Acts 15:11 is a fascinating verse, if you are ever bored and wish to see something in a new light, perhaps.

Oh. Are you suggesting I have never read that verse before and have never thought about it?

So we have conflicting interpretations of the passages from Galatians.

You seem to be disputing that in your previous post.

A clear writing, with clear explicit meaning, that is certified, isn't up for interpretation.

I'm not suggesting anything, Mad. That would be interpreting what I said. I never suggested that you had never read that verse before, nor thought about it. You're reading something that isn't there. Drawing implicit conclusions from explicit words fails every time it's tried. Unless one doesn't really mean what they say and say what they mean.
