Bible Note: Hank I agree with your point on interpretation of scripture but does personal interpretation extend to the point of the creation of doctrine? We have allowed our zeal for personal interpretation to move beyond mere interpretation and to become much more. From this move we have made words like 'tradition', 'rite', 'ritual', and 'historical' dirty words. Is it mere interpretation or is it really a resistance to authority and to have things our way? We even see it happening with our Constitution. The courts in name of interpretation are applying their own meanings to laws and setting into place things like same sex marriage, homosexual rights, abortion, right to die laws. I think we all can agree and see the wrongs of this action yet we fail to see that we do the same thing. EdB |
