Mark,

Re: nose. Just checking as I've tripped on it before. My wife calls it a target of opportunity.

I agree with you regarding the literal interpretation of scripture, yet this is the perfect example of the application of II Timothy 2:15
" rightly dividing the truth. "

If something is confusing a concordance helps me out tremendously in searching out cross references in scripture.

I agree with Dan regarding the magistrates or judges interpretation of that passage. Here is another example of that thought from Exodus ch 22:28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

In the King James Version I use, there is a distinction in using "g" for the reference to gods here as opposed to "G" in reference to God the Father.

Scripture denotes figurative and literal in cases such as Revelation 4 :1 ....the first voice which I heard WAS AS IT WERE of a trumpet talking with me

Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tounges LIKE AS OF fire..

Then the literal regarding Jesus (I have to throw this in):0)
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

In His love,
John
