Not only does scripture interpret itself, it writes itself and reads itself.
Similarly, poetry interprets itself, writes itself and reads itself. Or, art interprets itself, paints itself, views itself. See?
Isn't that just wonderful!! Bless your little hearts. I wish you could read it in the original.
Maybe that's what retemories are for. Repeat, repetition. Verse . . . over and over and over and over and over and over.
If you gaze long enough into scripture . . eventually . . . Scripture stares back
Textual redactions redact themselves, interpolations interpolate themselves, engravings on silver bracelets engrave themselves, prepositions pre position themselves...
BULL$HIT
Obviously, scripture does NOT and can NOT interpret itself - because it's SCRIPTURE!
I think, Mike, that you'll find many of us focus on the good we got FROM THE BIBLE, not from PFAL in any of its forms. That's where we get our peace. We're at peace with what GOD wrote.
I doubt you'll find anyone here who has a driving need to "be at peace" with what you wrote.
