Disclaimer: I am not against other scholarly or spiritual approaches to hermeneutics. In fact, I employ these approaches plus the one I am proposing here. I weigh different approaches. I propose a denomination-free, logical, and probabilistic approach to interpreting the Scripture. I have never...

I don't have a denomination and I don't belong to the category of non-denomination either. Denominations disagree with one another on doctrinal issues. Each denomination has its strengths and weaknesses. I had set myself a program to visit all religious places accessible by Toronto's TTC. For...
