Kobojunkie:
The story in itself is easily comprehended without any "interpretation". To interpret scripture is to "insert between the lines" that which is not literally referenced in scripture and this some claim is done by some spiritual process which Jesus Christ never declared. An interpretation is usually offered by those who are unwilling to consider the message as given. It is a form of information of course but with a message that differs from that expressed by the human author of the text in question. Not all information is acceptable or God's Truth.

So what other interpretation is there for what is written in the creation story?

alright let's leave it there...there's more to creation.... BTW genesis 1 verse 1 and verse 2..something happened in between... let's not go there..

Ok, back to the rule then ... why do you believe in "interpretation" of scripture when Jesus Christ said only those who apply understanding only will gain more of it?

I ask this because you have so far chosen to give an interpretation to all that suits abandoning the plain message contained in the context from which the scripture comes from

Jesus never said so...dat scripture talks about talents dat were given to servants,, by trading with d talents,,they got more...in trading u must compare tinz...u can't use #100 to buy a house...instead u can only use a comparable amount of money to buy a house...in other words value must compare value b4 trading can occur...whereas d person dat refused to trade by hiding his only 1 talent in d ground,, his talent was taken away from him....so in d business of trading,, u must compare value to value,, dats Y u should compare scripture with scripture to gain more understanding

Here again, you make attempts to "interpret" what was written instead instead carefully understanding the message that was given to you.

28 “So the master told his other servants, ‘Take the one bag of money from that servant and give it to the servant who has ten bags. 29 Everyone who uses what they have will get more. They will have much more than they need. But people who do not use what they have will have everything taken away from them.’ 30 Then the master said, ‘Throw that useless servant outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain. - Matthew 25 vs 14 - 30

The above message is repeated several times by Jesus Christ in His teachings.

The same is lesson from that parable is found used by Jesus Christ in Matthew 13 vs

11 Jesus answered, “Only you can know the secret truths about God’s kingdom. Those other people cannot know these secret truths. 12 The people who have some understanding will be given more. And they will have even more than they need. But those who do not have much understanding will lose even the little understanding that they have. - Matthew 13 vs 11 - 12

macjireh:

what translation of d bible are u using... or are u a Jehovah's witness?

Now you are going to take up issue with the translation I use?

Are you not using a Bible written in the English language?

well I use king James version which used d word "TRADE" in verse 16...in trading,,values are compared b4 they are exchanged... so where did I use interpretation? its d same scripture I'm dwelling on..d last man did not trade with his 1talent but kept it single by hiding it

Matthew 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
.
25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

You are focusing on the wrong thing though. The message as explained by Jesus Christ, of the parable, is what is written of in verse 29.

Jesus Christ gave us the parable, and after that He explained to use what the takeaway should be from the parable He just told us. How is that picking a single scripture and building doctrines?

Relating the conclusion to where it started? The one who told us the story revealed the rule He told us the story in order to teach us. How can you say that is cutting off where scripture started?

Trusting in the Words and teachings of Jesus Christ is a dangerous path?
