It is just too postmodern for us to think that our interpretation is simply it because that is how we would think. Seems we don't all think the same way, therefore it is evident that the intent of the writer is needed.

OBW, I don't like to respond to you. Every reply from me generates a Straw-man from you, or you read something into a message that isn't there.
Here's the message: Christians live by faith, looking to those who have gone before for encouragement for the future. This would seem to be a message that could be taken at face value. I can't even post some verses from the Bible without your questioning my intent.
Further, I don't know how to respond to a group of Christians on a Christian website, who are questioning the inclusion of the book of the Revelation in the Bible, saying John was on an LSD trip when he wrote it. This is beyond the pale. You have to start somewhere, and for Christians, the Bible is pretty near the top. Hebrews 11 is the best I can do.
It should be obvious by now that all people don't think the same way.
Could you not just ask "Nell, what do you mean by this...?"
