But that does not in any way prove that it is a less correct interpretation of scripture, or less in line with what "god" really wants or intends, than any other, including those touted by you, the Catholic Church, or the "liberal" and "progressive" apologists who inhabit this board.

That's what you don't, and won't, understand or acknowledge.
