What are your qualifications to analyze RHClark's posts?
I care enough about the scriptures to have spent a goodly portion of the last 26 years of my life studying them.
But don't take my word for anything, be a Berean, as I am sure you know you are supposed to be (because you also study, right?).
And don't forget the analogy of faith, or audience relevance, or the nuances of the Greek language.
Your first sentence is enough. Adding other books is a waste of time.
The first four years I was a Christian I used four Greek books and a Hebrew interlinear to learn what the Bible "really" says. I had full SETS of commentaries. They contradicted each other and at time God's Word. I finally concluded the translators pretty much agree and all we have to do to learn what God wants is read a Bible in the language we normally use. There's no need to learn "nuances of the Greek language" to learn John 3:16 or Mark 16:16. Or even John 14:15 and John 15:14.
That's one of many interpretations - maybe God can sort it out sooner rather than later. People's souls depend on it.

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.
