Wrong Interpretation And Understanding Of The Scriptures? by brainpulse: 12:58pm On Sep 28, 2012
Why do Christians quickly point to some bible revisions as Errors just to support their personal interpretations and neglect other verses in the same revision that doesnt support other lines?
So is it the Revision or the Interpretations of these Christians that shoud be put under Scrutiny, since as christians? We believe that all scrpitures are from God and some of this revisions had not added extra verses or chapters to them just revision for easy comprehension and reasoning.

Who makes the interpretation and the understanding of the Scrpitures easy? Is it the revision or the Holyspirit.
Although so many christians that we are aware of on this forum had ridicled the work of the holyspirit forgeting that the Holyspirit gives exact interpretation and understanding of God's works according to His intents, motives and situations at that time in relation to the situation of man at present, thereby giving their own ambiguous interpretation and nolifying the original contents to satisfy their personal intents.

To me I believe Man's interpretation had done more harvoc because of their motive(leading to blasphemy annd heresies) than the intent and interpretation of the Holyspirit.

What is your take on this?

In the past we had depended fully on the Holyspirit for interpretations and understanding of every of God's words and we had also taken issues to God as led by the Holyspirit and gotten speedy results but nowadays we depend on our interpretations according to our believes and human knowledge, boxing God most times to a corner that God can never do this or that. We had also complicated issues to unbelievers by double interpretations of same lines on different issues. I believe that is the reason why we don't get result from the throne of Grace.
Who is to be blamed?

Most christian that uses logic to interprete the Word of God at many times fall into heresies and blasphemy. I wnder when spiritually issues and things becomes a source of logical interpretation? Then this is nollifying the Works and definition of faith. Even to the extent of analysing God logically forgetting that Logic is the works of man and can not explain the nature of God.

1 Corinthians 2:14
New International Version (©1984)
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
New Living Translation (©2007)
But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

English Standard Version (©2001)
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

New American Standard Bible (©1995)
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

When a Christian begins to interprete the words and works of God Logically then his salvation and faith needs to be questioned, because salvation in its self its the works of Faith and grace which logic can never explain.

Understanding the Words of God through the human mind and the spirit man are two different things entirely and everytime, the interpretation of the two are always different because they are two different individual and personalities that can never come to terms together.
The Human mind(nature) tells and understand things basically from what he can see,feel, touch etc and it becomes very difficult for him to comprehend and interprete when they are off the limits of this senses.
Its Just like telling a man blind from birth that the tallest building in Nigeria is mre than the highest mountain in the world. This becomes illogical for him to comprehend and interprete becomes its beyond what he could fanthom, fashion and feel. For him to believe he will have to experience it himself. That is exactly the things and words of God. They are not things we could see with our physical mind but can see,feel and touch when we allow our spiritual man to experience it.
Spiritual Truth Is Spiritually Discerned
Thought
Those outside of Christ are unable to grasp spiritual truth. Only by means of the Holy Spirit is spiritual truth discerned. If we better understood this we would give far greater priority to prayer than to clever presentations.-DL
