AM,

Sure you can. If you try and speak to something you know nothing about and take a position on it you would be hypocritical if your false position countered your previous positions.

In this case biblical interpretation as propsed would eliminate zelots and psuedo religions from using the bible to defend thier doctrine. i.i. the god hates gay christians. It also would include the people that use the bible to promote or defend anti Christian beliefs. Again as in this case. Biblical interpertation is not something one can fake or pretend to understand. One has to be well versed in the rules and be able to know where and if any passage is refrenced in or by another passage through out the new and old testament. I doubt any of the Christain bashers here can even come close. Saying one was rasied in a religion is about as useful as someone claiming to be black because they had been to Africa.
