Ya have to love it. If God purposely put contradictions in the bible. Haw can we ever use the bible itself as a guide to interpretation? If we find an apparrent contradiction, it must have been God, Because my interpretation is right.. so we in fact can prety much make th ebible say anythign we want.
Keep this in mind Sherril.
The word of God that's the most true to God's heart is going to be just like his son The Word of God - a stumbling stone and rock of offence.

Modern Translation: So, you're totally down with the 1611 KJV? (seriously?)
Some people understand that the word of God isn't bound by language or specific words. There are MANY words that can convey the word of God. The word of God isn't the words written on paper, it's hidden in the symbols of the words written down.
Joh_6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Only a moron would think the literal reading of that verse is "the word of God". The word of God is hidden in those words. How many different ways could that verse be written and still keep the word of God in tact.... the answer is many ways.
I'm reasonably sure that you have no idea what I'm talking about because if you did, you wouldn't be trying to steer people away from the PRESERVED SYMBOL BOOK.

I already did.
The written words are the holder or body for the word of God. Jesus said that his WORD is spirit... that means they aren't written down.
Joh_6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Verse 63 "the words that I speak...." he's talking about these words:
Joh 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Is the real meaning of that verse written in that verse? No it's not there at all. Those words are the container or body of the spirit (the real meaning).
