    This guy did a great job answering this question. Gave different reasons why people may interpret scripture than others and gave scripture to encourage people in seeking God for answers in their life. For any of you saying he didn’t answer this well or he side stepped the question, you obviously need to open your ears and listen to/watch this video again. Great job Southern Seminary!

    The REASON for many MISINTERPRETATIONS is because MANY have superimposed their OWN limited finite thinking onto God's PERFECT word. CHRISTIANITY is NO an exercise in intellectual development. That is a fundamental mistake.1 Corinthians 2:12-14 (RSV)12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.[a]14 The unspiritual[b] man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

    Tony Campolo and colleagues settle on Red Letter scripture, wisdom falling from lips of Christ. Apostle Paul, charismatic leader, Roman citizen, expert lawyer tried to reconcile why he, wretched sinner, zealous persecutor of Christians, received so much grace, filled with Holy Spirit could work wonders, The expert Pharisee argued long and hard and well. but his " works-faith " definition in Ronans 3.28 was so misinterpreted it led to the crescendo of challenges and scores of denominations, some sporting Swastikas, many think that is a good thing, Apostle Peter would lament at the misinterpretation.

    I listened to the full video and Im being honest. This speaker did not give a straight answer. I understand sometimes it's necessary to give a parable but the verse in Romans has no relevance to the question. Furthermore sugar coating the answer with "God will help you!" Is not helpful as this is not a error from God's end but rather the Christians for not preserving their book in the text (so the language in which) it was revealed in. The message can be lost in translation especially if it's more than one language.

Would it be true that if a mon gentile like myself and this gentleman on the vide could time warp and be in his audience we would have been "dogs" ... and he wasn't going to address us at all !!! Therefore how come then, that the claim is that Jesus taught "us" about the fish etc etc. !!?

    3:50 Former Christian here. This is a pretty fair question. However, the reality is that most people are not going to be Bible scholars. I am no scholar myself, but I did what I could for several years. I am still not convinced that the Bible is the inerrant and complete Word of God. I am however convinced that it was written by human beings. Sure, we can draw inspiration from some parts of it. But it remains a collection of man-made documents. I don't think you necessarily need the Bible to find God or decency. Of course, I know that this is nothing but satanic blasphemy by evangelical standards.

    Most modern evangelical Christians force the scripture to fit into one of two man-made systems of interpretation. Reformed Covenant Theology is about 400 years old, and Dispensational Theology is less than 200 years old. Southern Seminary now uses the first of the above. The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith claims the ten commandments were given to Adam in the garden, even though Paul says in Galatians 3:16-29 the law was "added" 430 years "after" the promise was made to Abraham "until" the seed (Christ) could come to whom the promise was made. Who would Adam have committed adultery with, since Eve was the only woman alive? How could Adam honor his mother, since he had none? The confession also claims we are still under the 4th commandment, even though Paul says otherwise in Colossians 2:16-17. You cannot keep the Sinai sabbath on the wrong day of the week, at the wrong time of day, by doing only some work. Christ is our Sabbath rest every day of the week. Much of this confusion comes from an ignorance, or denial, of the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34. .

    The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob only authored ONE Holy Written Word - just one. And in that Word He warns us about adding to - and taking from - His Word. But mankind being mankind - secular, sinful and full of pride - decided that we could word His Word better than He - so we started writing all of these "versions" we have now in the bookstores and libraries. Are those (versions) His true Living Holy Word? No. They are written by mankind - and those who have written them will be destroyed - according to God. . . Get yourself a King James 1611 Authorized - the only one that has been around for over 400 years - the only one that men/women/children were tortured, beheaded and burned at the stake for owning - and reading from. If you do a little research into the "dark ages" and the "crusades" you will learn that it was the Rcc (roman catholic so called "church") that committed this horrific atrocities - in their attempt to destroy God's Word. They failed - because God promises us He will preserve His Word for all generations - and He has - therefore the Rcc failed in their attempts - and will always fail - because they are trying to do battle against God Himself. . Also - do some research into just what all these "versions" have removed from God's Holy Word - - it will shock you, I promise. The NIV alone removes over 66,000 words, names and even entire verses - including the word 'sodomite'. A good website to compare the "versions" to the KJ 1611 is: www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/1611_authorized_king_james.htm . . Also - worth nothing - the King James 1611 text is the only text that carries no copyright - never has - never will. . The NIV, ESV, NKJV, NWT, etc - cannot claim the same. . Another red flag - which book is the one book that is most widely attacked - - the King James 1611. That's because satan only goes after God's Word - and even he knows which one is God's Word.

    There are thousands of denominations just in christianity alone , each with a different doctrine. Each interpret gods rules and words differently. And each thinks the other denominations have got it wrong that only they have it right. They even disagree on things amongst the same church and congregation. So then for the religious it comes down to which objective version of god you hold as true IN YOUR OPINION. THAT MAKES IT ONLY AN OPINION NOTHING MORE. My opinion is that I could do a better job of authoring a moral system with just 5 mins to improve the bible watch. DONT OWN PEOPLE------- YOU CANT BEAT THEM FULLSTOP-------- WOMEN ARE YOUR EQUAL AND HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS MEN.------' THERE REALLY AREN'T ANY WITCHES SO YOU DONT NEED TO BURN ANY GIRLS TO DEATH. OH AND BY THE WAY THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED GERMS SO WASH YOUR HANDS PROPERLY. IM NOT A NARSOCHIST SO DONT WORSHIP ME. COS ANY GOD THAT REQUIRES WORSHIP IS NOT WOTHY OF WORSHIP. AND I THINK I WILL TREAT ALL TRIBES EQUALY , SO FORGET THAT FAVOURITE RACE GARBAGE. OH AND THAT PIECE OF SKIN ON THE END OF YOUR PENIS IS THERE FOR A REASON .😜 Boom how easy was that only took 5 mins ,much better now. Something tells me that the bible wasn't actually authored by an omnipotent moral god. But just ignorant medevil superstitious peasants who knew no better. And that's why it looks exactly like all the other fables of gods and demi gods, from that period who required the smell of burning flesh or else !!!

    "Why are there so many interpretations of the Bible?" For many years I wondered why this was; but I never got a plausible answer anywhere. That all changed when I reached 75 (89 now). It happened BECAUSE I sincerely prayed my heart out to Jesus; asking WHY there are so MANY diabolically different beliefs all over the world; when it comes to interpretations of the bible(s). Within days, I began learning things I had never learned in the previous 70 yrs of my life. Oh indeed I did. Praise Jesus! And it hasn't stopped yet! Wow! How I love Jesus with "all my heart, soul and mind"! Warning: In all likelihood, You're NOT "gunna" like this; but I believe it IS true. I believe that the Holy Spirit guided me to realize that ALL bibles are filled with errors. Oh indeed yes. I would have never believed that; If I hadn't took it to Jesus!. Thus, I stand on it; as I stand on this planet. I don't care if the entire world goes against me I will stand on it. However... ...I am NOT going to throw my bibles in the garbage can; BECAUSE there are untold "golden" truths throughout the bible(s) ALSO!. Oh indeed yes. I believe the Holy Spirit guided me to know this too. And THIS answered my question to the "nth" degree. Praise His Holy Name. Here are just a few "errors" (but there are a myriad number of errors more)... ...Compare Deuteronomy 24:1 vs Mathew 19:3-9. And compare Mathew 1:1 vs Mathew 22:41-45 and John 8:58. Also compare James 2:26 vs Ephesians 2:8 and 9. Also, compare Mark 3:28 and 29 vs Hebrews 10:26. And I could go on and on and on; where there ARE bold contradictions and right out lies. Please read... ...2nd Timothy 3:16 is NOT true. Oh yes indeed. The above proves that to any wise person. I love Paul and MUCH of what he wrote is absolute truth. But he wrote errors also. Oh indeed he did. Thus: I believe this happened because satan inspired ALL the writers to put in errors; while Jesus was inspiring the truths. And I believe that Jesus let him do that; so that we would NOT worship the bible; rather worship Him. Oh yes! Now if you are mad at me now; hear this: NO bible is the "word of God". I believe that Jesus is the ONLY "word" of God there will ever have been. Please read this... ...John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with(in) God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Now SHOW me a single bible that has ever been; that became "flesh"! Huh? I rest my case. Could I be wrong? ABSOLUTELY yes! But this applies to all others who must bare the same. In any case, Praise Jesus; for He is the ONLY true God there will ever have been. AMEN!

    C Nault No, I cannot prove it happened. But that doesn’t mean you cannot believe it’s true. That doesn’t prove it’s false either; when you cannot prove something happened.

    There are huge differences between mythological characters who lived "once upon a time" (ie, they never really existed) and a known historical figure like Jesus. The miraculous birth stories of the former bear only superficial similarities to the accounts in Matthew and Luke of Jesus' conception and birth.

    Of course there are huge differences. they come from different cultures. that is not my point. Numerous stories from different cultures have virgin birth demigods. Its standard fare if you want to pass off a god-man story. its still not believable. Oh, and its debatable whether jesus was a real historical figure.

    Only lunatic-fringe atheist pseudo-historians question the existence of Jesus. All reputable historians of the ancient world acknowledge that Jesus was a real person, and that the Gospels are accurate accounts of His life and ministry (some historians question some of the details, but all agree that in the first half of the 1st century AD a man named Jesus of Nazareth was a major religious figure in Palestine, and that he got himself executed by the Romans on trumped-up charges, and that his followers, shortly after his death, began proclaiming that he had risen from the dead, and that the group [which came to be called Christians] of those who believed this spread within a few generations, to all part of the Roman Empire, and beyond).

    Greg B True the vast majority of historians don't question the historical existence of Jesus. Whether the arguments for the Christ-myth theory will continue to gain traction among scholars and historians, only time will tell. Some tenured professors are open to the idea on a mythic Jesus. Nevertheless, even if an actual Jesus of Nazareth did exist, he is highly unlikely to be the Jesus of the gospels, meaning the gospel accounts are hardly believable and not written by eyewitnesses, and even biblical scholars can't agree on the time frame in which they were written.

    On what rational grounds do you say that the Jesus of history and the Jesus of the Gospels are not one and the same? What is your evidence? All you've got is the opinions of some anti-Christian "scholars" (who because of their bias can make no claims to objectivity).

    @@CoxysHobbiesJESUSLOVESYOU "It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is." Noble Qur'an 19.35 John 3.16 contradicts with Nature of God mentioned in Bible itself. God is Not Loving n Unjust as per Corrupted Text of Bible God ORDER "TO KILL WOMEN, CHILDREN, INFANTS, horses etc" 1 Samuel 15:3 Bible has Sons by tonns including Begotten. Allah informed mankind that previous books were only for Particular group of ppl and have been corrupted by Humans. So whatever in Bible matches with Qur'an is actual word of God what doesn't match and goes against Qur'an it means its corrupted by Scribes.
