"I also do not believe that any religious text is complete, even my own Bible, in that even texts which are divinely inspired are still subjectable to various misinterpretations due to translation and that they are all absolutely susceptible to misinterpretations. Two people of the same culture can read the same sentence and, given their experiences in life, interpret it two very different ways. We have to also consider that it is not only possible, but likely, that both of these are probably wrong." -Jon Davis-
The problem I face dalam hidup gua sebagai orang Kristen adalah orang2 menganggap interpretasi mereka terhadap suatu ayat = truth, instead of just an interpretation! Walaupun gw yakin bahwa mereka pasti berdoa dan minta pertolongan Tuhan dalam membaca itu, but sometimes interpretations are just outright crazy & outrageous.. I mean, Christians should never ever ever ever hate & condemn others!! True! The only one we should hate is devil.. The only things we should condemn are the bad deeds, not the person doing it..
The only truth is the Bible itself, right? Dan saat kita interpret Bible, the thing to hold on to is that it's God's words, not ours.
