Bible Question:
OK let me rephrase the question. When we refer to personal interpretation could we maybe talking about personal application and not interpretation? In Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: Hi, Lionheart! I'm jumping in on this one... I could not help it because there are way too many "personal" interpretations of Scripture... for these to be "personal applications" they would be confined to personal belief and practice... sadly, it is not so... there are waaaaay tooooo many "Christians" who do not practice Scripture but create their own "personal interpretations" and attempt to indoctrinate others with their never-before-understood-as-I-am-able-to-discern teachings of doctrine (our loving God is OK with sinners--go and do as you please; love your bretheren--those who are your blood/congregational relations; Scripture changes according to man's progress--so practice any form of worship, it's all God wants since Jesus preforgave all sins... so practice homosexuality; divination, and spiritism (inclusive of all other isms), you may even choose not to believe in God--God so loves and understands us that He is willing to accept us as we are!...) Personal interpretation of Scripture lead some to create their own religious bodies... some who, obertly or subtly, are actively engaged in the pursuit of removing Christ from His Divine Throne. They chose and pick Scripture, ignoring Truth and augmenting insignificant findings... these are spoken of by Peter and the other Apostles as they are called empty fountains who have already been judged! (2 Peter 2:1-22) God Bless! Angel |
