A Few Thoughts on Interpreting Scripture.

One thing I want to say is, that I see that human misinterpretation of the spirit and intention
of scripture, is not God's fault. It actually could be blamed for His own crucifixion. The devil used it as a tool to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. Consider the source of the interpretation. Jesus was accused of casting out demons, with the power of the devil, by people who thought He was violating scripture. Which proves that we are really able to not understand scripture and abuse it, feeling self righteous, to the point of utter bondage. But, I still believe that God has hidden Himself, in order to be found by anyone sincerely seeking Him therein. He is equally hard to find, for those who have a different agenda, and for those thinking they see and are blind. God wants to be known, and I think that's one of the significant reasons for scripture. When I am unable to interpret something, I don't want to presume to say that God is what? someone to judge as a fool? It is most likely, that I am the fool x infinity. If God's Spirit, is not interpreting scripture to you, you will be left to interpret it on your own and you may as well read it in a dark room with the lights off. I think, in the wrong spirit, it is the devil's favourite tool of destruction. If he can twist God's words and get us to listen, it is just like the fall in the beginning. It's a very ancient trick.
