If two people are reading the Bible.
One man reads, a snake comes down a tree in a garden. He looks up, sees a garden, a tree, and a snake. He says now I know what I am reading.
The other man reads this and says, what is the snake in me? The tree in me? The garden in me?
Which one is spiritual!
Proverbs 1:6. Ancient Sayings. The ancient meanings of the words are the truth. Not the prophecies of the future.
