Why the "There are so many interpretations of the Bible" claim is confused

I agree.... and it is similar to the claim that there are hundreds of thousands of variances in the scriptural manuscripts.  The point that is trying to be made; falls apart when looked at in context.   It's just a surface deception and doesn't have the meaning implied. 

I have a friend, who converted to Greek Orthodoxy (I met him after). We have debated quite a bit and normally what is initially thought to be a large divide at first, we find that our views are fairly similar in the end.
