    Biblical Interpretation

    [/size][/color][/size] As you know, I still hold that interpreting Scripture is not necessary when we understand it from God, and I think you are right about pride as one factor getting in the way of this. It is because of this obstacle that we are driven to interpreting what should be clear...

    Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed

    Second time? How can such a thing happen? One should never judge, but.......... Medical ethics must be one of the most complex jungles that humans have to live in. Life is so precious, why, oh why, are we so ready to waste it away. My heart pours out for this poor woman and for her family...

    Danhead and Filosofer, Thanks for the posts. I would like to narrow the scope of this a little, but first a couple of comments: [/font] I hadn't heard of that before - I love it already :) You have that problem as well? It happens to me mostly when i'm being asked to do the housework -...

    Yes indeed. The group is called Christians. But not all its members are active members :) Keith

    Biblical Interpretation

    Your example demonstrates my point beautifully :thumbsup: . My challenge is not based on needing both interpretation and understanding. Interpretation is totally unnecessary, and in the case ofthe bible, extremely misleading. When you read "She ran", you agree that one cannot understand...

    Biblical Interpretation

    I see... so you cannot understand anything without an interpretation? But I assure you I could offer you loads of interpretations that don't require any understanding at all, but their value will only reflect the level of understanding :) . This reminds me of the thread in the Australian...

    Biblical Interpretation

    I don't really understand what you mean. Could you give me an interpretation (or preferably several - then I can choose which one I would like to "understand":)) Keith

    Biblical Interpretation

    Oh, I am sure there is only one truth (but then who really knows :) ) And since there is only one Truth, what on earth does one need an interpretation for? Answer, because one doesn't understand that Truth. And when one does understand it, then there is no need for an interpretation, is there...

    Biblical Interpretation

    I think you are swapping words here without really pausing to "understand" what they mean. In my opinion (interpretation :) ), an interpretation means precisely that one is trying to say something in another form in order to, hopefully, bring forth the understanding. In other words...

    God’s relationship with people

    Hi John, I used to think the same way about infants, but in a similar debate on another forum here, a rather different slant on this occured to me. It is clear that infants have not actually transgressed or have actual examples of sin on their scoreboard, but they are still sinful by...

    God’s relationship with people

    Yes, you are right, and I do realise that I am not purely taking the Scriptural line here. The reason is that the Scriptural line, at least on the face of it, seems to contradict what I feel in my heart - but before you say that we mustn't trust our hearts over Scripture, I would like to...

    God’s relationship with people

    Apart from the fact that there are billions of people in this world who have never had any signs to run away from, I fully agree with you. And this is exactly what I am getting at! How can it be that we are so in the wrong in our greediness, and yet it is they who pay the penalty instead of us...

    Biblical Interpretation

    [/font] So who then decides what interpretation is "bad"? Even from this very statement we see how there are more than one, in fact usually plenty of different interpretations - and the owner of each is convinced his is right. So much for interpretation. Understanding, on the other hand, is...

    God’s relationship with people

    What???????????? Some 25000+ plus people die of starvation every day. A large proportion of them are children and babies. I really don't see your description fitting them. A baby dies of AIDS, having caught it from its mother who was raped. I don't see your description fitting it either...
