"Don't you do the same, ie. taking literally what you agree with while "interpreting" what does not suit your particular belief system? You are quick to reject as "liberal" those interpretations that are not consistant with your own. Maybe it's you who should re-examine your own interpretation?"

No, it may appear that I do as you suggest, but I try to be very careful to let Scripture interpret itself. I consider the whole of Scripture to be authoritative and to be obeyed and reject none of it. That obedience is at times hard to do and not what I would choose to do on my own, but I try to be obedient to the word of God.

"Liberal" theology is a well accepted name for a particular view of Scripture and not just terminology I made up. There are several other theological systems and views of Scripture with which I disagree that are not "liberal", such the dominionism often mentioned here and amillennialism, a system where prophesy is spiritualized to transfer the promises God made to Israel to the Church, which is a serious error of interpretation, in my opinion.
