Truth in a story which is entirely dependent upon subjective interpretation

[Rhondazvous]

These are my thoughts on the subject.  First of all, christians don't disagree on everything in the bible, but if you take any manuscript written thousands of years ago in Hebrew or Greek, and then translate into a modern day language, you're going to have much disagreement on the meaning of parts of the writings.  I don't think that the bible was written to be a manual. It was written with the purpose of leading people to Christ.  All christians agree that Jesus Christ is the savior and the only way to God.  There is nothing in the bible that says that all followers of Christ must have the exact same opinion of every passage in the bible.  Maybe we'll all know the meaning when we get to the next life.  Many older christians know more about the bible than newer ones, but they are all equal followers of Jesus.  Why would God choose this way?  Maybe he wants us to search, discuss and debate, which makes it much less boring.

1. With so many modern translations there still is no agreement about the meaning. The bible doesn't even agree with itself, so how could there be?
2. There is scripture that says xtians are supposed to agree

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Then again, maybe I do agree with you since Jesus and his father disagreed on the importance of the Sabbath.
