To be honest, I don't agree with this in the slightest. We ALL take our own interpretation from the written word garnered from a lifetime of past experiences and paradigms. What I find incorrect is demanding that people believe our interpretation of the scriptures or think that we have the only correct understanding of them.

sounds good, but I don't think it's that way - at all.

SCRIPTURES ARE NOT INTERPRETATIONS, *****
and is all we have as a foundation of truth, to use as a standard to base everything on.

And what I find to be interesting - especially in this forum,
is that very few people actually use scripture to prove their point , like I do.
They actually think that their opinion, or their "interpretation" of a scripture,
is more important, than just reading what the scripture says itself.

And what I told TheDuke, and others
is - "SCRIPTURES ARE NOT INTERPRETATIONS - READ THEM !"
and many times - to him, and everyone else - in some of my posts -
I've have repeatedly said -
"DON'T read anything I say - just read the scriptures I've posted - they speak for themselves"
WHICH THEY DO !


***** And to also be honest, I think that what you are implying, is very dangerous,
simply because it neutralizes what the scripture is actually saying,
and they are left to your interpretation of it, instead of the power of the truth of what the scripture is saying -
as it comes from God.
Doesn't sound good to me. Doesn't sound good to me.at all.
Sounds like something satan would conjure up -
leaving God's word - up to your interpretation of it.
(Like reducing God's word, to the interpretation and precepts of men.)
SMH

Because -then whatever the scripture says - ***
like take the Ten Commandments -
Thou Shalt not Kill -
Shouldn't we leave it as it is - and let it speak for itself ?
YES ! - (or is that too hard to do - because we always have to change God - according to us)
So if you're going to interpret it, and say - " oh... well, but God really didn't mean
that we shouldn't kill our enemies."
or I'm sure - that just like some in this forum,
can come up with a hundred other "INTERPRETATIONS"
of something said so simple.

***
or any and ALL SCRIPTURE.
you can just write it off, what it's saying, and say that it means this or that.
It can be a way for some to slip out of the truth of what the scripture is saying,
or even justify their sins - as I've seen many times, and in this forum.
Just take a look at this thread - perfect example.

Interpreting scripture, and changing God's word to say - what YOU want,
instead of letting it say - what is says,
I don't think that's what God had intended.
and is a sin in itself.

I still stand by what I said. We all take our own interpretation of scripture. Some of our interpretations are most likely more aligned with God than others, but we often all fall short in some way. Just be humble enough to realize that your understanding of scripture may not always be the only level of understanding, nor may it be the correct understanding. I've seen scriptures used to justify all manner of beliefs that I don't agree with.

Also, I'd be a little cautious throwing around this phrase: "..very few people actually use scripture to prove their point , like I do." It drips with an air of pride. There are some wonderful scriptorians here on the forum. You aren't in some elite class IMO. Just sayin'

Couldn't ride any long rides for about six weeks after that. But today was a nice day for a change and I decided to attempt 50 miles. My previous attempts were all cut short. But today I succeeded and rode 50.1 miles in 5 hours and 33 minutes!

Tears of a dragon.

I assume that you mean the Tears of the Dragon sung by Bruce Dickinson will be coming true?

I had to rewatch the video to remember the details. It was Bruce and Iron Maiden singing The Wicker Man that started my story in 'power' for lack of a better word. I never thought to look up the rest of his songs. Then one day I stumbled upon the Tears of the Dragon and it matches myself close to 100%. Not only the words but also in the imagery but then I know how to understand the imagery. Then I found at least another dozen or so songs by them that also fit details of my life perfectly. But some maybe not perfectly but like 90%. It's freaky for sure! So what about The tears of the Dragon.

Walking in the desert with the pendulum swinging and on fire.

It will take some time but the fire is always with me. We are talking 24 years so far.

Bruce sitting in a room that looks suspiciously like he is sitting in the chest of The Wicker Man. Singing, "for too long now there were secrets in my mind". I did not share those secrets until I started posting here. "for too long now there are things I should have said" I may not have followed the Spirit's promptings to say what it wanted to say at first. "In the darkness I was stumbling for the door to find a reason" So true, as I was looking for a way out. "to find the place the time the hour, waiting for the winter sun" Bruce sings about the pendulum and the winter sun in another of his songs. So these details are important. Is it this Dec. 21st or maybe next? idk. Then there are more words that fit my life but explaining them would take too long. "the pressure is building and I can't stay away". Believe me I have tried to stay away but the Spirit keeps bringing back here. It must have its reasons "I throw myself into the sea" This can have more than one meaning and all seem to fit. "Release the wave, let it wash over me, To face the fear I once believed, The tears of the dragon, For you and for me" I was afraid of the dragon because I believed its tears were for me and all of us. I did not know (according to my story) that I was destined to give him the boot."
"Where I was
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them
Until the ice began to break"
I'm not an emotional person. In my human condition it is not easy to use my wings. I can flutter along the ground calling EQs and bringing water to a certain lake but doing what I can really do, flying, is not possible in this human shell.

"I have no power over this
You know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away"

I have built walls around myself. I refuse to make a claim. And those walls are crumbling. The water is moving. I can feel it. I am slipping away as the Spirit is getting ready to take full control.

"Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away"

Yes, my awakening has been slow.

The imagery in the song.

The pillar of false teaching and false doctrine with demons circling. The club that is the Spirit I've been wielding hacking at those false teachings.

The Spirit that has walked with me all my life.

The cloud of opposition.

All the people I interact with here that I can't see their faces.

The isolation of the sea surrounding a rock. That is my life. Alone in a sea of people.

I can't find one thing in that music video that does not make sense in respect to my life. It is uncanny, really.

So BND, what are you saying. Do you think the time of standing will be in 2025?

And don't forget the first stanza of The Wicker Man

"Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do?
Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way"

And what it says next

"You watch the world exploding every single night"

And isn't that where we are and where we are headed in the very near future?
