Quote:People have been working on exegesis of the bible for many centuries.
Yeah,the term is a euphemism for "the bible means exactly what it says, except when it doesn't. In such cases it needs an expert such as me or other members of MY sect to determine what it REALLY means"
Is just me,or does no one else find that a little odd? By 'odd' I mean that YHWH ,God of the universe was too stupid or inarticulate to get his message across in way which was clear to all people. Instead he needed large groups arrogant, sanctimonious, parasites (clergy, theologians) to mediate and interpret his word and will.
Ignoramuses such as Drip,GC et al, with their transparently false claims of erudition and critical thinking, start to get quite tiresome and REALLY boring after a while.
