Ah....but, who was John but another Man ....attempting to translate the teachings. That becomes irrelevant in the context of my personal faith, as I find my own ability to garner meaning from the basic messages, on Par with John.
I have simply decided that the fewer humans between me and the teachings....the more accurate is the likely interpretation.

Please understand I do not think myself "Better" than anyone else at interpreting these teachings. I am just different in my reading of intent in scripture.
