Hell

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

There is only one correct interpretation of Scripture, the same as with any text.

Factually untrue,as a decent lawyer will explain to you; most texts can have many interpretations,something which has always frustrated scholars. .

To make such a claim about sacred text reveals the typical apologist bloody mindedness and ignorance about problems of translation and transcription errors over 1000 years.(forgetting the whole worm can of actual authorship and authenticity)


Christians killed each other for centuries over different interpretations of the Bible,each side claiming theirs was the only correct one.Today Christian churches not only still strongly disagree about scripture,but do not even all agree on the canon.

The standard apologist response is the no true Scotsman logical fallacy, claiming anyone who disagree with their interpretation is not a true Christian.

One of the major causes of the Reformation was over interpretation of ONE LINE of scripture : Viz Jesus said at the last supper "Do this in memory of me" That became the basis of the Catholic mass,as it remains today. It also led to the schism with Martin Luther,over the doctrine of transubstantiation.That difference in interpretation remains to this day between Catholics and protestants.
