Tack, that's entirely the point. You can interpret that single quote one way, another christian another way, Ryft or SW nother, myself another (a large amount of people could agree with each of us independently and collectively). I stated that the bible can be (and has been) interpreted any way, that there's nothing it can't (or hasn't, or couldn't) be made to say. The longer our discussion drags on the more support there will be for this statement. This is the heart of the "true interpretation" issue.
I'm not trying to point out that Jesus denied the trinity as evidence or anything like that, as I feel that this would be a pointless endeavor. "One magical being denies the existence of another magical being (or some claimed attribute of their own magical being) ergo it doesn't exist" isn't exactly my style, now is it?
If that position is preposterous then why await the sage wisdom of Ryft, who has made that claim (alongside Stat) in this very forum. You're seriously waiting for a loon to come illuminate a concept you are unsure of?
(it's not about knowledge "owner", but knowledge "enabler" btw)
