>if you know how to read it. Right there is part of the problem - The implicit assumption that there's something wrong with someone or that someone's not "special" enough to understand God's promise. We are all His children and don't need our relationship with Him dictated by whether or not we "know how to read it." Humans who loved God lived for hundreds of years before they had any access to written material - to think their relationship with God was somehow sullied because of that says nothing about God and everything about humans.
