I'm thinking that, am I? You see, it's easy to think others have their ideas twisted when you're putting words right into their mouths...

You people? I'm not sure if you're referring to me, or to everyone else who's replied thus far, but this 'holier than thou' attitude isn't convincing anyone that you're more knowledgeable about scriptures than anyone else who studies Christian doctrine, either on their own, or via institutions such as churches. If you're referring to me, I DO read from the OT as well as the NT, and I've given you no reason to suspect otherwise. Stop generalizing, please. It's ridiculously condescending.

As for the Edomites, here's a good interpretation about the remnants of Esau:

The EDOMITES

Mostly conjecture, but interesting to read nonetheless. If you're going to offer up conjecture and label it as truth, then I wish you all the best. I thought maybe I could reason with you, and even offered up some scripture to gain a little bit of credibility in your eyes, but I can see now that it's a futile effort. I'm always glad to see someone who's actively evangelizing, but it irritates me when I notice that they're offering only their interpretations of the scripture (which you ARE doing), and aren't willing to discuss scriptural topics that you may not agree with. That's not a conversation, it's a one-sided argument, and nothing good will ever come out of arguing with a wall.

Regardless of what you may think, you're no more or less valued in the eyes of our Lord than any of His other children who actively praise Him, spread the gospel to nonbelievers, and live their life by His Commandments. You just have an alternative means of interpreting our Holy scripture... but it IS an interpretation, nonetheless. That's all any of us are able to do: interpret what we read, even BETWEEN the lines, and spread our INTERPRETATION of God's word to those who'll listen. I'm not saying your interpretations are wrong, even though that's apparently what you're saying about mine. By the way, I wasn't indoctrinated into a church at all. I came to Christ by my own volition, and have read the Bible for many years (even as an agnostic) in order to come up with my own conclusions.

Luckily for me, my church happens to agree with my interpretations! Which reminds me... I gotta run, I'm off to evening church services. (Guess that makes you think even LESS of me now, huh? )
