> shouldn't your interpretation of the bible be the norm? matthew 7:15-20 15 beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 ye shall know them by their fruits. do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. christ also preached more on the dangers of money than almost any other topic. > if your worldview is the truth, why do so many not think like you? shouldn't your interpretation of the bible be the norm? the bible is difficult to interpret and has many conundrums, but also many truths. the unfortunate reality is that it takes a discerning mind to ultimately tell. it's a combination of overflowing love/forgiveness and reproach of sin, mainly trying to build up rather than tear down. it's a delicate combination. the good news is that there are varying sects that do get it right and it often times depends on your local church. christ preached unity, and i will not disparage someone who tries to avoid sin and loves his neighbor while believing in the gospel no matter what his denomination. read the new testament.
