The point is, a laymen’s opinion on a Scriptural passage MUST be based on someone in the Church who is qualified and has done the research (whether that is a Church Father or St Thomas, etc...and let’s also recognize that such saints as St Thomas didn’t “start from scratch” in his research, but studied St Augustine and others; and St Augustine studied those who came before him, etc.  Church interpretation builds upon itself but it all goes back to the early Church Fathers because they learned directly from the Apostles).  

Myrna’s comment that she’s using her imagination to interpret Scripture is uncatholic.  Catholics (especially laymen) aren’t allowed to “start from scratch” related to Scripture.  Certain interpretations of a text may not be binding but that doesn’t mean that such interpretations are 100% wrong or should be ignored.  

For example, one would be completely wrong to say “Well, the Church hasn’t declared what “sons of God” or “Giants” means, so I’ll interpret it as meaning “blue eyed men” and “people over 6ft tall.” “

This interpretation would be completely arbitrary and uncatholic.

I think we all agree that we must approach Scripture with the mind of the Church.  Myrna seems to have been trying to do this since she looked at the footnotes of traditional approved Catholic translations of Scripture.  For most laypeople, that is probably better than trying to research it oneself.

Myrna seems to concluded from the fact that there is no agreed upon interpretation that she is free to imagine whatever she likes.  I can understand your concern with this.  It does not seem prudent to engage in baseless speculation.  

Personally, when I see that there is no agreed upon interpretation for a passage, I see that as an indication that it is not important to salvation and not worth putting a lot time and energy into thinking about it.  I would probably read through the possibilities mentioned in the footnotes, decide which one made the most sense to me (if I could), and move on.

I am beginning to think you are nothing but another shill, who registered here to confuse Catholics, of which there are several.  

I hope you will rethink your harsh judgement of Pax Vobis.  The question under discussion is not very important and certainly not worth bad feelings among fellow Catholics.

You are so correct, I posted that in anger, of which I apologize; his insistence that I am interpreting scripture angered me, but perhaps it was my fault, I should have worded my post more to read a pious belief or words to that effect. 
Sorry to Pax, and readers here. 
Moving on, as you Jaynek suggested.   

God bless you Pax, as long as God understands my intention and yours that is all that counts.

Again sorry for calling you a shill.
