You must ask the right question, like "Does this verse say, 'Repent and believe?'" Then we might get to what does it mean. If it comes to that we'll ask DJP, he's like Mr. Wizard, Dr. Laura and the Magic 8-ball... a real Obaman.

Since you have admitted you believe it's foolishness to accept the Word that way you have proven my guess to be correct and you have proven that that verse meant exactly what it said.
