That is not how I interpreted that context. You did, apparently; some others might.

@q konn How do you understand how the families of the boys deal with it?
Why would I interpret a scenario which wasn't meant to be? I wouldn't. I do not interpret the meaning of 2 bears killing an unbelievable bunch of boys for taunting an old man. Why would I?

Again, your all over the place. You are saying the Scipture /was divine, it seems, yet now, is so messed up, that it doesn't even follow your rules of morality /or something like that./ So, again, why argue the text. Why not just present your beliefs, and forget about the text.
I did present my parable of the prophet and the bad boys. It is in this thread. Did you not read it?
Forget about the text. No can do! It is the most published book on the planet. I am a parent. An offspring of mine might someday pick up the book to learn some wisdom. I would like it to be wisdom a child learns.
I can* even fathom a world where people care nothing about planting lies. It's crazy.
* haha Freudian slip. I meant can't. But I guess I can. I am sorry.

Right,,,however, you are being loosy goosy with Scripture, which is a slippery slope. You can interpret Scripture any way you like.
I think you do not understand. I am not talking about interpretation. I am talking about transmission.
You may interpret scripture any which way you choose without a weapon (of course). BUT everyone knows it is not right to change scripture.

And.. if some one disagrees? Do you think that your interpretation is infallible? Like an oracle?
I h
What does it matter? To change it to mean love and peace is a good thing. No?
I looked up oracle. No. I am not that. I have a brain which works better than most brains work. Shrugs. I think someone should want my brain. I told the kids to donate me to science. Haha

Fine, however, since Scripture /you say yourself thusly/, differs from your interpretations, /(wildly), then what is the point of trying to 'change' the existing interpretation, to basically what amounts to a different reading of the text. //the Scripture, then literally, would become meaningless/
//without your 'decoding'/
I have no reason to follow your interpretations.
Scripture would not become meaningless (can you hear yourself?). The claim that it is all divinely inspired/protected would become meaningless.

Is it wrong to view a person differently than they want to be viewed?

Your interpretation, then would be based on a non-divine text. So, again, ''your opinion''.
Please proof read this statement and try again.
I think the whole Earth is for learning about God thus divine. So there is no such thing as a non-divine text which works for wisdom and right. OK?
Explaining what was written in the past is opinion. That is correct. So what we have which is an explanation of divine intervention is opinion also.

Therefore?
I think a council like Nicene would be nice but with thinking people, not powerful people. And certainly not with all the same kind of people. Wouldn't it be FUN! LOL
