Do you know what exegesis is? If you ignore or even downplay context as well as the delving into Scripture to uncover its meaning then you have no right to speak on Scripture whatsoever.
This is why authorities do not post on forums such as these. They find it a waste of time for the very reason that you posted above.

Guess not? Does it take a seminary school for that? Or is that a cemetery school? I'm so stupid I can't tell the difference. Actually scirpture EXPLAINS scripture, and the LETTER OF THE LAW KILLS; whereas, the
SPIRIT brings
LIFE.
Here, I wonder if this silly little man can find out what exegesis is? Simple Google search: exegesis
Exegesis (from the Greek ἐξηγεῖσθαι 'to lead out') involves an extensive and critical interpretation of a text, especially of a holy scripture, such as of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, the Talmud, the Midrash, the Qur'an, etc. An exegete is a practitioner of this science, and the adjectival form is exegetic.
The word exegesis means "to draw the meaning out of" a given text. Exegesis may be contrasted with eisegesis, which means to read one's own interpretation into a given text. In general, exegesis presumes an attempt to view the text objectively, while eisegesis implies more subjectivity.
Traditional exegesis requires the following: analysis of significant words in the text in regard to translation; examination of the general historical and cultural context, confirmation of the limits of the passage, and lastly, examination of the context within the text. [1]
Although the most widely-known exegeses concern themselves with Christian, Jewish and Islamic books, analyses also exist of books of other religions.

According to some forms of Christianity, two different forms of exegesis exist: revealed and rational.
Revealed exegesis considers that the Holy Ghost inspired the authors of the scriptural texts, and so the words of those texts convey a divine revelation
Rational exegesis bases its operation on the idea that the authors have their own inspiration, so their works result from human intelligence

Instead of argue with carnal minded men about carnal minded things, I'd rather just let the Lord speak for me instead: Thus sayeth the Lord:
(1Co 2:14) But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned.
(1Co 3:19) For the
wisdom of this world is
foolishness with God. For it is written,
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Is that a good enough definition?
