Letting the Bible interpret itself. Instead of us us interpreting according to our own biases.

[mrhades]

Fastest 'do not recommend channel' I've ever done.

There is no debating the word of God, you either believe it or you do not, and you certainly do not need an interpreter. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Imma write the most important book imaginable for all of mankind. The fate of each and every eternal soul will rest on my book. Grasping its message will mean the difference between infinite bliss and infinite suffering…

It will however require an interpreter to understand.

Hey Cameron, love your content, but why can't the interpreter be a Protestant Church that is fully connected to the apostolic tradition (I know you'll disagree that we are connected to that tradition, but that's a separate debate) like the confessional (not liberal) Presbyterian or Lutheran churches?

I agree we need an interpreter, but A) why does that interpreter have to be one single man rather than a proper ecclesial body, and B) why does that interpreter have to be infallible?

[tempvssolvs]

I'd say most I've seen that aren't caused by either a lack of context or a lack of knowledge of Scripture are because they deal with things that have not yet happened and thus have no benefit of hindsight.

To understand the Bible properly, you need several things: understanding the audience to whom the writer is speaking to, the situation and culture in the moment of the writing, to understand the Judaism practices of the Jewish people, the cultures in which the Jews found themselves at any given time, and the original languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic)

Most religious bodies do not understand nor teach any of these at all. They barely touch on a hebrew word every blue moon. How can you teach a Jewish book without understanding it and refusing to do so?

[Gustav.J]

Don't overthink it, and don't follow human ruling. The bible is meant to create a personal relationship with God and the individual.

We have one father in heaven, who is God—and one rabbi, that is Jesus Christ. Do not lean on the teachings of other human ruling.

[dungeonsanddragonshomebrew]

yeah still don't see why we need an interpreter to also not provide evidence for claims

also isn't that literally just priests?

[conservatvepatrot]

When in doubt, feel Jesus move in you.

[jmills]

You need more context for your statement.

[windyday]

interpreters are only required for someone speaking in tongues.

[amandatruscott]

Well The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a prophet…a mouth piece for God. President Russel M. Nelson. So I guess you could say we have an “interpreter.”

[TravellingMark]

So you’ll always need a man to explain the mind of god, every time.

[FieldPirateProducts]

You just put together the purpose of the Pope...
