Subject: Why is "literal interpretation" the best |
Bible Note: Greetings John, The only way it will not be total absurdities is if one knows the whole realm of doctrine which is nearly impossible and that’s why Paul gives the warning. Ephes. 4:13-14 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: [14] That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; Most of the Biblical derivations that we see today where brought about by well meaning “believers” that got off on a tangent. The best interpretation of Scripture are other Scriptures. i.e. Psalm 119:160 (A) The sum of thy word is truth; Even as clear cut as the gospel is, there are still those that are mixed up on the requirements that God demands for eternal life. I think a lot of that might be do to the English language and the fact that the Koine Greek can’t be understood sometimes with a word for word translation into the English. That's where the Amplified Bible sure comes in handy! Have a great day, CDBJ |
