"JBotwinick," thanks for correcting your earlier reply to Gina. Now it is much better to follow.
By the way, it is interesting the way you refer to Dr. Griffin's remarks as the Catholic-Baptist Church endorsement. Aren't you a bit harsh? You are referring to the Holy Spirit as your ultimate interpreter (which should be the case), so why are you critical of views differing from yours? Don't we all claim the Holy Spirit for our interpreter? And if we do, and yet come up with different interpretations, we cannot be right all of us - for the Holy Spirit is not the author of confusion.
Wouldn't it be better to state that "This is my personal view or belief, based upon my understanding of the Bible?"
