2Co 3:12, Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
In case you don't understand what that means, it means that you can take the scriptures at face value, because the apostles of our Lord spoke plainly in their epistles and in their everyday speech; also consider the following:
2Pe 1:20, Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21, For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
I pray that the Spirit of truth will bear witness to your heart what is the plain meaning of these scriptures (as well as the scriptures in my previous post).
I find it rather amusing that people expect others to understand what they are saying to them, when they do not give the Lord the same ability in their minds to speak plainly enough so as to be understood.
If you say to me, "Meet me at the Del Taco in San Pedro (and there is only one in San Pedro currently) at 8:00pm tomorrow night," and I said, "okay," you have a right to be mad at me if I don't show up, saying, "but I thought you said to meet me at Point Fermin."
Was there miscommunication?
"But I took you as figuratively saying that you wanted to meet me at Point Fermin, because Point Fermin is an allegory for Del Taco."
Do you see how ridiculous this is?

btw, I certainly do not claim to be sinless; only that the scriptures that I gave in an above post (#129) are valid.
If you want to know what is meant by them, you are certainly capable of asking the Holy Spirit.
He is the Spirit of truth, so if you have communication with Him you will not be led into a lie; you will find the singular and correct interpretation of what the Holy Spirit means by the message.
If you do not have communication with Him, then I suggest you heed the following:
Deu 4:29, But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Jer 29:13, And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
PS If you don't understand what I am saying to you by all of this, say it to God on your day of judgment and see how that flies with Him.
