I have read many posts on this site that causes me to wonder if some of us are missing something, the proper interpretation of scripture. I believe that the Bible is the wholly and holy inspired word of God. I further believe that the Holy Spirit placed the scriptures into the hearts of men.It is for this reason that I also believe that there is only one interpretation of scripture and that is the interpretation that the Holy Spirit intended.
Man has tried and continues to try to interpret the scriptures and the outcome often depends on whether or not he had an agenda to promote when he began his translation. I have seen many translations that were denominational and some that were for a particular church. Translation can be accomplished by any group of people that have a knowledge of Ancient Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. An examination of ancient texts reveals the sources for their translations.
God uses the Holy Spirit for the application of scripture to our daily lives. In so doing, He will reveal His truth to us as we are equipped to handle it. When I was a child, God applied a particular scripture to my life in a particular manner. Now as I have gotten older,the Holy Spirit applies the same scripture in a different deeper manner. The scripture did not change, I did and the Holy Spirit knew that as I matured in Christ, He could give me a deeper understanding of the same scripture He had used on me as a child.
We should not confuse interpretation with application. Jesus tells us in John 16:13 "13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." Let us all seek the truth from the Holy spirit and not lean on our own understanding or the traditions of denominational dogma.
