"When we fear God and
understand that it is his judgment, not our own, that counts
(1Cor.4:3-4) then we will cease from trying to wrestle with the
scriptures so much and will begin to simply ask, "What is
the point that is truly being conveyed." This is a great asset... We
could all "interpret" passages to mean pretty much whatever we wanted
to make them say, but we should always be honest with ourselves as to
whether or not that interpretation is true. Fooling
ourselves into believing something does not make that belief valid."
