Neither. It appears to be so much of a convoluted mess that just about any interpretation can be justified, and your opponents will simply leverage the same arguments towards you, i.e. mistranslated text.

If you feel that strongly about it, however, start a thread and take it up with one of our other Christians to see how well you fair. That's always entertaining to me.Smile
