I want to add that while I do think you are wrong, mistaken, and misled, and I
also personally don't see here room to agree to disagree, I do not want this
to
be taken the wrong way. I think any attempt to try to discern the deeper or
more complete meaning in such a passage is worthwhile, and like I said,
some passages may indeed be found to have a better and different meaning
than the traditional interpretation. While I don't think this is the case
here,
I think the very attempt at trying allows us to find those cases where it does
work out in the end. Since you asked, I wanted to impress upon you just
how impossible I see your reading of the passage. But it is is a free world,
and you of course can read it your way even if I think it is impossible and
incorrect.
