Church of England Has Now Approved of Women Bishops!

Christ took what God said literally. Every word of it. Not a concept, or interpretation, which is what happens when you don't take every word literally. Christ relied on the words as they stood.
It is written
It is written
It is written....

Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said, It is: written, Man shall not live by: bread alone, but by every word that: proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is upright; the word of God is pure;

^
If the word of God is pure and you add your spin, allegory, interpretation or any thing else, what you end up with is the word of God with additives. It is no longer pure.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God proves true;

Those that take the Bible literally are on the same slippery slope that Christ was on. Where is it that you think Christ told you to interpret what is written into your own understanding? Do you know how many churches there would be if we stopped interpreting what God said into what we think He meant? 1. Interpretation results in dogma. This one's dogma, and that one's dogma, and the other church's dogma.

When Christ said, "I am the way..." He meant that, literally.

You are a Muslim, then, certainly not a Christian.

lol.

Matthew 22:29
But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.

What an excellent description of the modern day Pharisees, TIR.

Anytime folks put the book before the Lord, they will stumble.

But Jake, you wouldn't know the Lord of it wasn't for the Book. Christ didn't change one word of scripture when He used it as a weapon against Satan. It is our instruction manual for Life. It's not to be added to or taken away from. It is not to be read, it is to be studied:

2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,"

All Scripture means all Scripture.
