So can we make a deal now?
The deal is this: I'd be very interested in learning more about the bible and how you interpret it. So long as you don't CLAIM that it is truth of the supernatural (meaning something that hasn't evolved or developed from natural laws). If you do claim this, you can still teach it your way but I should have every right to correct you and you should accept my correction when I remind you that you are not supposed to teach scripture as truth of the supernatural.
Deal?
You think that if Daystar quotes from the Bible he really has a wide knowledge of what is written in the Book of books.
Of course I should have made it more clear: I'm happy for Daystar to 'teach' me how he interprets the bible just because it interests me. And I want to reply to him and discuss it with him.
And I should have mentioned before of course I mean on this forum I don't really consider what he is doing teaching because I think what he believes so far about the bible at least is total nonsense. And he is not really teaching me because I'm not his pupil. I just mean I'm interested in him doing what he considers teaching, what he has been talking about. I want to discuss with him about it on this forum. I'm interested in what he believes thats why I'm interested in his so called 'teaching'. I certainly have no reason to believe he knows what he's talking about.
There are too many ways to interpret the bible metaphorically, you can never decide on the correct one. So if there is indeed a correct one I think its a totally literal one. And when interpreted literally you realize what a load of nonsense the bible really is.
