It is not possible to know which interpretation is right, each individual & denomination of Christianity has interpreted the Bible differently and has their opinions.

  • A logical fallacy in which no one can claim anyone is 'true'. I agree with what you say though

  • Yes, it is possible. To say that it is impossible is to say that anything is tolerable.

  • The only person that would be able to determine that is God. If I'm wrong who is the all mighty one that declares which denomination and individuals are "real" christians.

  • Which denomination? Denominations are added titles that "true" and "untrue" Christians add to their name because they accept a specific dogma or had some involvement in a specific part in history. The most important aspect of determining which is which is to determine whether their dogma lines up with the Bible; thus, they are truly Christians (as the name implies).

  • They are all different interpretations of the Bible, there [u]is no correct way[/u], for example if 5 people can read the same part of the Bible and get 5 different answers they are all going to say everyone else is wrong, the only being that would know the truth is God, but unless he himself declared who is right no mortal could have the answer.

    Incorrect. There isn't one passage in scripture that should be under the assumption that one can and should mean something different than what the passage implies. It always means and is interpreted to be the same thing. Always.

If someone rights a book anyone can interrupt things differently the only person who would know what they meant is the author which in this case is God. Unless you apparently are all knowing in what it means to be a "real" christian and have knowledge equal to God.

  • Metaphors always mean what they always have implied. So does the Bible in that regards.

  • Okay, so if all metaphors can only mean one thing then their shouldn't be any different interpretations. Explain to my why there are different interpretations and why "yours" is 100% correct and you are a "true real" Christian.

    Oh...and as I said before, "What I say has and always will be substantiated. There is no deviation or room for speculation," and again, "It is not my interpretation."

  • Substantiate - provide evidence to support or prove the truth of You haven't substantiated anything. To substantiate requires evidence which you have none for your OP or anything you said. How can you prove what a "true" Christian is? Anyone can write anything, just because someone writes something doesn't mean its credible.

    I did not say that there is no such thing as wrong interpretations. There are always a lot of interpretations. Some people are right, and some end up being wrong. Those that are wrong just need to be told why they are wrong concerning their interpretation and why most assuredly the latter acclaimed interpretation is correct.

    No one. It is only if you, as well as every other individual, can determine or discern whether the one claiming to be in league with the group he advocates is honest and true to his beliefs. That is one who doesn't act as a hypocrite.[spoiler]http://www.gty.org/resources/questions/QA162/how-can-we-know-if-our-faith-is-real[/spoiler] If the link isn't working, google, "the character of genuine saving faith," and click the first link.
