You stand with the Apostates who left Christ that night, Voltaire who mocked Christ, and the pagan emperor who persecuted the early church for their belief in the Eucharist. Reading scripture over and over is also a claim every Pharisee, Sadducee could have made. It proves neither wisdom nor understanding.
