::::::::Isn't part of the protestant reformation about allowing individual interpretations?  If not, who's interpretation is correct?  Lutheran? Roman Catholic? Eastern Orthodox? Methodist? Presbyterian? Calvinism? Any one of the thousands of congregational churches?  To say that there is only one correct interpretation (yours) is a view that most Christians across the world would dispute. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 14:49, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
    
::::::No, the hostility started with you, Karajou.  I added something.  I explained why.  Evidently, you disagreed and so you (a) changed it back and then (b) insulted my contributions generally, without any provocation save that you didn't care for my post.  Also evidently, you consider "working with you" to be "reading your mind" as no one here "pre-clears" their edits with you (I wonder, with whom do you pre-clear your edits before making them?).    I didn't even think my post was at all controversial.  Why?  (A) The Bible says "serpent" not Satan  (B) Many (though not all) Christians believe that the "serpent" was really Satan.  Those are two statements of fact, and so how noting those two facts makes Genesis look "silly" is beyond me.  [[User:JesusSaves|JesusSaves]] 19:16, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
