Me thinking that is the rough idea as a general response to someone trying to consider a philosophical approach to interpreting the bible does not mean that's how I think in any way.
And so I cannot reply, in good faith, as to how I am different from any religion because I have not stated my position on anything as absolute as knowing.
Had I an interpretation of the bible I would be sure to keep it to myself because, as you have stated, trying to explain would bring up lots of criticism and I don't want to upset people on a subject that is beyond reasoning.
The bible is one of many religious texts and I apply the same methodology to them all as I do not wish to upset people on a subject that is beyond reasoning.
Had I divine knowledge I would surely keep that to myself for the same reasons.
I think the rough idea is just don't break any of the well set out rules and leave the rest of how it is interpreted to god.
