Okay. Thanks for breaking it down for me.angellous_evangellous said:There is a difference in what the words say and what God is trying to say. One is interpretation of Scripture, which is understanding the written or recorded words. The Scriptures simply are not written in our langauge or for our culture or for our historical time period. If you want to interpret the Bible, you must either be educated in the art/science of interpretation or read several others who have that education to actually interpret the Bible.
The other is a supernatural encounter that no interpreter can measure with any tool. God is wholly and utterly unreachable by any human effort. By God's grace, and God's grace alone is any of us able to receive anything from God on any level. This is not biblical interpretation but an encounter with the divine.
But I still feel differently.
