Actually, this is getting to the point where it doesn't seem worth anyone's time. You seem to have said:

  • that you reject the Hebrew Bible, or at least consider it irrelevant

  • that the Gospels have a clear meaning which we should understand without explanation from you (and which you believe).

This may not contradict itself directly, but it certainly seems impossible to maintain once we admit that countless Christians read passages like that one differently. Why would the Gospel accounts of Jesus be clear to us, when your co-worshipers don't agree on what they mean?

If you do continue the conversation on this topic, please try to explain yourself more coherently.
