I can look at the same Greek text you fo and read it entirely differently than you do.
Not if you "look at the same Greek text" correctly. The whole point of exegesis is to establish a scientific method that obtains the meaning of scripture correctly so all can agree. By asserting relativism a failure grasping these facts is demonstrated.
I can look at tge same Greek text you fo and read it entirely differently than you do. Of course I am just as convinced that my understanding of scripture is must inline with the Bible. This can lead to a battle of egos rather than glorifying God.
Excellent point, this is called the egocentric bias.
Yes, but can you stay on topic? At least @Mercy Shown is (commendably) attempting to stay op-relevant.


Have you got anything op-relevant to contribute to this discussion?

Scientific? Systematic perhaps but not scientific.
