I don't want to get into any specifics. But surely many of you have been given revelations or lets say interpretations of scripture that defy the commonly taught explanations.
What do you do with it?
Do you try to convince others? Do you keep it quiet? Do you share it online using an alias?
Curious.
Blind post.
Not all interpretations of Scripture are equal and many interpretations are just downright silly. For the most part, the natural, straightforward, literal reading of Scripture is the correct one - except where context (both immediate and general) and literary genre prevent such a reading. Some parts of Scripture are clearly poetic, or apocalyptic, or prophetic and these kinds of Scripture often utilize highly figurative, metaphorical language. In such cases a literal, straightforward reading is not appropriate. Much of Scripture, though, is very plain. When the Bible says, "Jesus wept," that's exactly what it means; when it says, "You shall not commit adultery," it means precisely what it says; when Scripture says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," it means nothing else. The idea, then, that the meaning of Scripture is up for grabs, that the interpretation of God's word can be legitimately as varied and many as those who read it is simply false.
God has had some 2000 years over which to illuminate the minds of His children to His truth. Scripture has been studied, and researched, and sifted with incredible fineness and care by some of the greatest minds of recorded human history. These minds, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, have made it quite impossible at this point for the modern reader of the Bible to say, "Oh, hey! I have understood in Scripture what two millenia of Holy Spirit-enlightened believers have not! I have a new revelation from God about His word! Listen to me! I've got it right where all others have got it wrong!" Baloney.
As for new, divine revelation, well, I am hugely skeptical of such a thing.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
If this is so, what need have we of "new revelation"? None that I can see.
Selah.
