Problem Of Interpreting Scriptures by tobechi20(op): 9:16am On Mar 29, 2013
Should we as individual inteprete d scripture ourself or should we leave it to d elders of d church?

Should we submit ourself to the autority of the church and accept whatever she teaches or does each beliver direct link with God give him acces to inteprete d scriptures

The Pharisees never interpreted the Bible...unless you mean the Jewish scriptures.

I am guessing it is the Holy Spirit that interprets the Bible for you. So can you please tell me, what does the Holy Spirit say about John 6:35 where Jesus said "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE?"

Some say it is Holy Communion which is the ACTUAL body and blood of Christ, that Jesus was talking about in that passage.

Some say it is Holy Communion but it is only a SYMBOL of the body and blood of Christ.

Yet, others say it only meant we should believe in Jesus.

You, what does the Holy Spirit tell you.

God bless you as you tell us.

@delkuf, please I would like you too to tell me your interpretation of that verse and passage...you, who interprets the Bible by yourself.

God bless you as you do so.
