FEG said:Most people wouldn't have a problem with agreeing that an ASE certified mechanic's opinion is worth more than mine when we are discussing an automobile. However, people would be very uncomfortable with the notion that my opinions concerning the Christian faith are more informed than their own. What's the difference?
Respectfully, I think your example is flawed. There isn't much room for interpretation on how an internal combustion engine works. Religion, on the other hand, is ALL up for interpretation.
If you can read Greek and Hebrew, that can't really be disputed, eh? But as to the interpretation of the translated text, well...
Again, respectfully, your opinions regarding faith do not outweigh mine by any stretch, education or no.
I do, however, get the gist of your point. I think religion was just a bad way to get it across, yeah?
