Apparently, Dom does not believe that reading between the lines exists for Christians, likening it to Mithraic practices. Really Dom? Paul's epistles are written to cause neophytes to be lost?
This must be Dom's conclusion. It's surely not mine. Yep, Pastor Doe, needs to call B. Smith an Uber.

Those who've read the Bible for 70, 80, 90 years thank God because of the new things they are seeing, even after so long of a time, because of the riches of depth of the more and more it has.
Proverbs 4:18 is talking about the younger growing into the elder.
Saying anything against shows Dom disagreeing with a valid, truthful statement. Why Dom? Proverbs 4:18 is talking about spiritual progression, comparing the life of the righteous to the dawn that grows brighter, symbolizing increasing understanding as one matures in old age,
Proverbs 16:31,
Proverbs 20:29. Starting from youthful beginnings to full spiritual day, a journey of growth in wisdom that parallels the idea of the younger growing into an Elder. It's a metaphor for a life lived in the light of the word,
Psalm 119:105-106. Wisdom which gets clearer and stronger with age. All contrasting with the wicked's path that darkens with age,
Proverbs 4:19,
Matthew 15:14,
Ephesians 4:18. Which
Ecclesiastes 12:1-3 explains it very well.
Good exegesis here Dom.
Now, how about some on what Paul reveals to those who read between the lines? Those who disprove this methodology would take the foundation from under the walls of the reason for this thread. Dom has yet to show why this method should be discarded, though he has made efforts to mock it.
