INTERPERTATION VS BELIEF,,,,aka acceptance.
I found in the KJV ( which I use and adore ) only 8, [eight],scriptures USING the word interpret !
The instances in Genesis and 1 Corinthians are about dreams and congregational messages in tongues.
This one however:
Ecc.1:1
The Prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach.
Whereas MANY and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets,and by others that have followed their steps, for the which things Isreal ought to be commended for LEARNING and WISDOM; and whereof not only the readers must needs become skillful themselves, but also THEY THAT DESIRE TO LEARN and BE ABLE TO PROFIT THEM WHICH ARE.....WITHOUT, both by speaking and writing: my grandfather Jesus ( David) when he had much given to the reading of the law,and the prophets,and other books of our fathers,and had gotten therein good judgment,was drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to LEARNING and WISDOM; ( Psalms) to the intent that THOSE DISIROUS TO LEARN , and are Addicted to these things,might profit more in LIVING ACCORDING TO THE LAW.
Wherefore let me interest you to READ IT WITH FAVOUR and ATTENTION,and to pardon ( forgive,show mercy )us,wherein we may seem to COME SHORT OF SOME WORDS,which we have laboured to .......INTERPRET.
For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and TRANSLATED into another tongue,have NOT the same force in them: and not only these things,but the law itself,and the prophets,and the rest of the books,have no small difference,when they are spoken in their own language.
For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt,when Euergetes was king,and continuing there some time,I found a book of no small learning: therefore I thought it most necessary for me to bestow some diligence and travail to INTERPRET it.........................................ALL wisdom cometh from the Lord,and is with him forever. The WHOLE chapter is wonderful and should be read and reread by all v30.....
1 instance of the word TRANSLATE 2 Sam.3:10.
131 instances of believe
John 5: 45-47
Do not think that I will accuse you to Father: there is one that accuseth you,even Moses, in whom he trust.
For had he believed Moses,he would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
But if he believe not his writings, how small he believe my words.
John3: 12 If I have told you earthly things,and he believed not, HOW small he BELIEVE, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Too many on believing ( accept some thing that is true, feel sure of the TRUTH of) or accepting ( consent to receive).
Interpret. Explain the meaning of words or actions.
( yes I know this can go gazillions of ways).
Sooo the lead in is where do we think in ourselves we have to interpert the word of God instead of accepting what "thus saith the Lord"
Disclaimer: not endorsing we become Juduasers and hold onto the law!
