Christian answering questions too!

"Allow the scripture to interpret itself"?   That sentence makes absolutely no sense.

It makes perfect sense.

If you read a book for example, do you draw a conclusion after the first chapter, or does it make more sense to read the whole thing and let the story unfold on it's own.

Do...do you know what math is?

it's a figure of speech bud

And there are millions of interpretations of this one book.  One book, which some people think was literally written by god himself.  Except when we read it, people have all sorts of different ideas about what the book really says.  Sects have actually killed each other over what they think the book says.  Preachers have used the book to excuse all sorts of crimes against humanity: genocide, rape, racism, slavery, etc.  
Gee, you would think if the book was anything special, and god actually spoke to his followers, then anyone who read the book would understand what it says.  Is it possible that the book was not written by god?  Or is it possible that god is unable to clarify his own instructions?
