Got ya ! It does NOT mean exactly what it says. It can only mean what you and other madist have distorted, taken out of context, perverted, and turned from the true meaning of to fit into MAD.
IF and I doubt that you have spent much time in scripture every bit of it has been filtered through MAD deception and distortions.
You are staring to look like a Roman Catholic and like them it never means what it clearly teaches and says.
You'd go into one heck of a deep depression in your shame were you to tangle one on one any of many a MAD in person - many of whom are practically walking Bibles.
From all that time in Revelation thru Genesis, in light of Romans thru Philemon (Scripture's roadmap to the balance of Scripture).
