Elder Who, that is very ineresting way how you put it.
chappy you said:
I also believe the Bible has a personal message for everyone
Yes it does, It calls all Men and women to Faith in Jesus Christ and Repentance of Sin
chappy you also said:
A particular scripture may tell me something I want or need to know where as the next person may get something quite different.
cute that this may sound, this is just plan Barthian non-sence. The bible does not have different secret meaning for different people but the same meaning and message for all so that they may know Christ in a redemptive way. One can not interprate the bible in a consistant maner in the way that you speek of.
anew writes:
Yes, very much so, yet not determined as to how.
Only by God's Grace by Friend only by God's Grace.
But God who's rich in mercy just read Eph 2
grace and peace,
