TR: one problem is that even while citing Biblical passages, you are presenting your own opinion. When approaching a verse one must decide whether it is literal, a metaphor, an allegory etc... Even if one takes a literal reading, the precise import is often unclear. Accepting the Bible as divinely inspired is all well and good, but how do you know whether your interpretation is correct?

What makes your opinion on these verses superior to Sigurd's or Rhyf's? Each of you favours different authorities outside of the Bible itself to supplement your argument: the others will probably not agree with the those authorities. But you cannot claim that you present manifest facts by citing a passage which you interpret in a particular way and dismiss alternative readings as 'opinion': to do so is facetious at best.

For any given text, historical, religious, or fictional, there are as many readings as there are readers.
