"The best way to guard a true interpretation of Scripture, the Reformers insisted, was neither to naively embrace the infallibility of tradition, or the infallibility of the individual, but to recognize the communal interpretation of Scripture. The best way to ensure faithfulness to the text is to read it together, not only with the churches of our own time and place, but with the wider 'communion of saints' down through the age." -–Michael Horton | ||||||
2 | Guarding a True Interpretation | Acts 15:23 | EdB | 234667 | ||
Powerful words! But words rarely applied to the whole body of Christ with it’s different denominations and schools of theology. Fact Baptist still interpret scripture according to Baptist theology or doctrine, Methodist interpret scripture according to the Methodist view. Pentecostals interpret one way and non Pentecostals another. Calvinist hold to their interpretation as do the Arminians. Protestant to Protestantism and Catholics to Catholicism. The list of divisions and different interpretations is almost endless. Yet we are quick to point to one and shake our heads as we pick up another. |

I am just an untrained layman concerned that God's inspired words should glorify how incredibly worthy He is within His introduction of Himself to all mankind, because Genesis One is meant to be so foundational and easy to understand for us all.
