Neo Says...

"if you have an infallible text, but all your interpretations of it are admittedly fallible, then you at least have to always be open to being corrected about your interpretations, right? ...So the authoritative text is never what I say about the text or even what I understand the text to say but rather what God means the text to say, right?  So the real authority does not reside in the text itself, in the ink on paper, which is always open to misinterpretation.  Instead, the real authority lies in God, who is there behind the text or beyond it or above it, right? In other words, the authority is not in what I say the text says but in what God says the text says." (72)
