Bible Note: Ebrain: Gregory Koukl (www.str.org): 'Let me give you a picture of my world, by and large, at least as it touches this particular issue. My world is a world in which thinking matters, in which there is such a thing as truth, in which truth can be known and in which we use thinking to assess ideas to determine whether they are true or not. There's really not much room in my thinking system for comments like, Well, that's just your interpretation, or just your opinion...I don't believe that all opinions are equal. I don't believe that all interpretations are equal . . .' (Some Things are True by Gregory Koukl. To read more go to: ww.str.org/free/commentaries/philosophy/stat.htm) Daniel B. Wallace: Interpretation of the word lies within what we understand it to say. Does it? Or is there more to it than that? "This kind of response sounds as if all interpretations are up for grabs, as though all interpretations are equally plausible. Such a view is patently false."
