Bible Note: Shalom Hank; I make a distinction between biblical statement and biblical interpretation. Biblical statements are objective. When the bible says "the word became flesh", there is no way to dispute these words which are clear. Biblical interpretation is always subjective. When we interpret "the word became flesh" as "Jesus became flesh" this becomes interpretation. The deity of Jesus, which I do believe btw, is interpretation and therefore subjective. If the Bible says, "Jesus is God", that would be a Biblical statement and therefore objective. To many good intentioned people turn biblical interpretation into Biblical statements which is where dissention and anger begins. Shalom Simchat Torah |
