You wrote,[...the meaning of the bible in its entirety a matter of interpretation?...your conclusions...personal interpretations...].
There are many interpretations of the meaning of the entirety of the bible. Those interpretations are IMO not the same as a revelation of the meaning.
When I write about aspects of the bible, it is that what I write has been revealed to me.
I do not think that I have posted any conclusions here, but have just posted citations to verses. Those that read those verses could see them and make their own determination as to what they mean. But they say what they say. I do not believe that I have posted what has been revealed to me about those citations here yet. Nor can I, for Mr. Hsiung has posted a threat to expell me from this community if I was to post what has been revealed to me about them, which could cause me to post the Jewish perspective, the foundation of Judaism, which has been revealed to me that I believe.
And this brings up something that had happened to me last year. A minister of a popular denomination contacted me as he had an episode and was diagnoed as BP. He was given the popular drug combination and our discusssion was about if taking mind-altering drugs was in the will of God as he thought. We both agreed that it depended upon if his mind would be open or not to satanic forces as a result of taking mind-altering drugs and/or if the drugs became before his God. This is another aspect of this thread's topic that I have not posted about yet which is part of the entirety of the bible. He died suddenly the day before we were to meet to conclude our discussion.
