Do you have other rules I can follow that cannot be misconstrued as being subjective I can follow them?
You did see where "TREADETH" does in fact mean stomping? I even put a picture to show what a winepress that one treads on is.

Bowas, the simple rule is make the passage NOT say something entirely different.
The rule is simply given by the rule maker.....
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
If you or I are adding or taking away from the book of Rev. we will go straight to hell.
This is not a game to me.
I would not even read this book if I thought dabbling with it improperly would send me to hell.
If you want to take a chance with this kinda stuff.....2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the
(DELETE-Church), which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the
(DELETE Church) were for the healing of the nations.
In my opinion, we must ever so carefully express our "opinions" about this book, and not haphazardly reinterpret the clear words of it, as this preterist interpretation above shows us.
I really want us to be saved my brother. Please hear my advice at least.
