Yes the text exists. But back on topic, evaluating that it is an infallibly true account of the way things are is to interpret it some way:

[b]to construe or understand in a particular way: to interpret a reply as favorable. [/b]

that is fine Aggy, but as yet i have not stated anything about the verses quoted
other than to let them speak for themselves, that is not an interpretation, its something
entirely different, a presentation rather than an interpretation.

I am a fire breathing hobgoblin.

Do you interpret this statement as a factual account of the way things are, or as a dishonest statement used for debating utility (or otherwise)?

Now play the same game with respect to how you evaluate the text written in the Bible.

If you say you are a fire breathing goblin then who am i to dissuade you? As for the
factuality of the account, it exists independently of whether i believe its accurate or
otherwise.

Robbie, you know as well as I know that I've been wasting my time this last hour trying to make you understand something you merely *pretend* is beyond your grasp. I refuse to put you in the same intellectual little league as the likes of Dasa or RJHinds.

With that I must walk away from this.

Aggy, what can i say, the Bible interprets itself.
