[QUOTE="food4thought, post: 59789230, member: 3467"] I hold the OT and NT Scriptures to be Divinely inspired, but not the understandings of anyone based off these texts. Every exposition of the Bible by man is potentialy flawed because man was/is flawed (just like me, although many have a far greater understanding than I do). If someone could show me from the Bible that Isaiah and Ezekiel DID NOT have this understanding, I would immediately abandon my current understanding of these texts. But, since the texts themselves seem to be ambiguous on this subject, and I find support for this understanding elsewhere in the Bible, I am compelled to adhere to this understanding, at least for the time being. On a side note, very little writing from the time of Isaiah and Ezekiel has survived (Babylonian Talmud, excetera). What little there is I admit ignorance of by and large... but as I said above, I would have to be swayed by a direct exegesis of the text that takes into account the entire body of the Bible in order to change my current stance. What some Rabbi believed back in 500BC is not going to sway me unless he has a very compelling case from the Scripture itself. [/QUOTE]
