By Whose Interpretation?

Word of the Day

I had the pleasure this morning of meeting with a group of men who have a heart for Jesus and a desire to study His word. We discussed how to study the bible and talked briefly about interpretation. A great question was raised. How many interpretations of God's word are there?

We discussed 2 Peter 2:20-21,

"Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its orgin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit".

I was driving home thinking about my day today, what I'll say and do, and who will be impacted. For one, I hope my actions have less to do with the "will of man" and more to do with being "carried along by the Holy Spirit".

How many interpretations of God's word are there? One - His Name Is Jesus.....
