Bible Note: I take exception to your statement and I quote. "This aberrant interpretation by some folks based on a single word in a single verse, nor supported by any genuine scholar of scripture since the time of Moses, does not lend itself to serious consideration." First it is aberrant because it does not fit YOUR theology. Any so called genuine scholar that does not at least consider all interpretations is not a scholar at all. To be a true scholar one must consider all interpretations, they may be summarily rejected but their validity must at least be examined. That said there are serious and well qualified scholars that see this passage in a different light. I will not defend their position but to try to invalidate it by simply saying no one even considers it is not true. You might not consider it and that is fine but there are well credentialed men that do. Let us stick with fact and try to insure we don't mistakenly state our opinions as though they are fact. |
