well, that sounds good, until we look at the record; i am not insisting upon any interpretations for my quotes; the verse alone seemed to do fine in the moment.

And this old idea that you claim God puts verses like that to trip people up is sheer nonsense. But not telling you that.

well, i would put it more like how you interpret a verse reflects where your heart is, not God is trying to confuse you. And my answer was that Christ is a spirit, and believing on Him might have a spiritual interpretation that is more important than a verbal declaration, or a more literal interpretation. So what if you are wrong?
i mean, if i am wrong, i get to say 'hmm, what do you know, you learn something every day,' but if you are wrong, have you considered the ramifications? It seems like you are kind of in a no-win situation here. Aside from possibly providing a false sense of security, what is holding this opinion even doing for you? What is the point?
