Christian Living, New Testament

Thank you for the interpretation question, “Which of these scriptures is not true, Mt5:3, Mt 5:5, Eccl 1:4, John 14:1-4, 2Pt3:13, Isaiah 45:18, Ps 37:9-11,29,34?”

It would be very helpful if one believes that one of the verses cited is false, not true to cite it or to question the interpretation of that verse.

In fairness, I read the cited passages and they are all true. Not one of them is false. If one cites that one or more verses are false, then the premise is that the Scriptures are not trustworthy or accurate. It leaves open the prospect that perhaps every Scripture is false. That is a premise I do not accept.

One may have differing interpretation on a verse but the verse is not false in itself. The reader may have a different interpretation than the original writer or infers a meaning that the author didn’t intended. The problem is not in the verses but in the reading and interpretation of the verses.

I cite a simple example of John 3:16. Can a reader interpret that God so loved the world that he is referring to the physical planet? Can a reader interpret that God so loved the world that he loves the animals but not the people in the world? Can a reader interpret that God so loved the world’s system or values? Can a reader interpret that God so loved only location of the world? One needs to read the context and the text to determine the intended purpose of a word or words and how it has been used by the author in other citations.

SUMMARY: The problem is not with the Scriptures itself, but the problem is with reader and one’s interpretation of that passage(s).
