I did not interpret anything all I did Was Quote Scripture. "just reading the Scriptures will not lead to salvation." That quote is not found anywhere in scripture is a true statment. I was not addressing anything about my statement other than ????.. We were talking about how to think and develop correct understanding NOT SALVATION. Those two things are not one in the same. All the understanding in the world will not result in salvation if people do not obey God when he tells them what to think and how to think it. 1 Corinthians 13: 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 2 Thessalonians 2:10??.because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12. that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth. 1 JOHN5:2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. John 14:15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Do you still maintain that you "can?t find anywhere where the scriptures say 'just reading the Scriptures will not lead to salvation.' "? Neville.
