So, here's an example of where the "clear and plain" is not to be taken as "clear and plain." Instead, we must use some interpretive application to explain WHY the "not" is not so literal. Hmmmm... sounds like something everyone else has been arguing for the last 30 posts. You agree with it, then you turn the tables when it comes to 1 Tim, insisting it's "clear and plain."
Like a dog chasing its own tail.
