Kevin, I think you error with your statement "Too much of the Bible 
"theology"is based on interpretation."  Rule are simple: 1) only one 
interpretation  2) 
many applications, and 3) all scriptures point to the Messiah.  Sometimes 
folks confuse interpretation with application which appears to be what you're 
doing.  There can only be one correct interpretation: my interpretation and 
your 
interpretation could both be incorrect.  But we couldn't have two different 
interpretation and both be correct.

I've been following this posting and I was reminded of Vivian Thomas.  He was 
granted an honorary MD by Johns Hopkin University.  Thomas was a self 
educated, poor black man who worked as a janitor at the hospital while he 
studied a 
cure for "blue babies."  I think they still use his procedure today.
