The Bible, as any heathen fool can see, was written in plain English as spoke by the Baby Jesus. Appalachian English. Plain as day so's every man who could read could read it for hisself and not need some authority Pope-guy bishop to tell him what's in it. Of course, if anybody got a Bible question, it is my job to answer it correctly as inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Now if you will be so kind as to excuse me, I got some snakes to feed and to mix a fresh batch of poison for Sunday services, to which you are welcome with any Bible question.

OK, I am out of this one - I made a mistake in offering a challenge to someone’s religious beliefs on this forum. Bad idea, I should not have done it.

Thanks for the laugh, though.

How do you know this 'authority' knows what they are talking about and not deceiving you? Making you believe what they want you to believe? Putting trust in 'man' is for the gullible.

That may just be what your 'authority' is giving you disguised as Truth.

1 John 2:27 "As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in Him."
