Why are there so many different Christian interpretations? | GotQuestions.org

Why are there so many different Christian interpretations, different Christian denominations, different Christian theologies, and different Christian religion beliefs? In other words, why do Christians believe different things? When it comes to different doctrines and different theologies, the issue comes down to, how to study the bible and how to interpret the Bible correctly so we can know how to understand the Bible and know what it actually says. In this video, Pastor Nelson with Bible Munch answers the question, “Why are there so many different Christian interpretations?”.

Well done I love your brief precise to the point line of reasoning. You don’t bring religion into it but you bring the Bible into it as the only authority on the matter… Thanks again

[@flightparamedic505]

Well said and completely agree

[@black-cross]

This makes a lot of sense because when I was an atheist I tried to read the Bible multiple times but it always led nowhere. Now I'm on my 3rd reading. Guess I wasn't ready for it then.

“so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[@synthoelectro]

it's those who gather around a table, and try to make sense of scripture, without first asking the Holy Spirit, seeking what Jesus tells us. "20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1 : 20-21

Sola Scriptura is why. When everyone is free to interpret it as they like that is how you end up with 10,000 Christian denominations. Sola Scriptura is false.

This is well done even though I do not agree with most things protestants say but I do respect this video and this is a very huge issue with Christianity today

[@danielrickel8807]

Because people want to feel comfortable. If the truth is completely preached almost no one will be completely comfortable in church so god allows different denominations to teach less truth so he can at least take them as high as possible. Most believers are on a 30 fold level barley saved a few like Pentecostals are on a 60 fold level and speak in tongues and have actually received the Holy Ghost inside and a tiny Minority of Christians are on the 100 fold level actually working towards perfection which is possible if you completely yield to the moving of the Holy Ghost.

Thanks for your video. You quote from Corinthians but in the end you’re video is all about the early church and apostles James and Peter and John which Paul has no association with and gives them no credit to what he has learned. Paul said his word/doctrine is not from Man (James and Peter) but from Jesus himself the spirit. Sort of confusing as the early Church of Jerusalem was made up of Jews believing Jesus was the Messiah but fully embracing the Mosiac Laws. What you’re asking is for Christians today to become people who follow the Torah and believe in Jesus as God. Not saying this is wrong… Just saying it’s nearly impossible for anyone today to comprehend what you’re asking

Last Thursday, I was working on the top of an outdoor aviary cage and pierced my hand under the pinky and into the palm on a portion of the cage. It bled profusely as it was hot, and I was under pressure at that moment...all I could do was pray, heavy. In a few short moments, it ceased. It never bled again. I prayed in Jesus name, but I draw a blank at recalling my prayer, only remembering the blood dripping in the heat. Hearing John 11:28-29 here, Father glorify they name...whew, praise the Christ King, Jesus!

Your guys' website is antipacifism but jesus said "do not resist an evil person"-matthew 5:39, so why are you guys misinterpreting verses that you dont like??

[@MarquisFacade88]

I meet with pastors of various Protestant denominations and ask them their interpretation of different parts of scripture and they all give me different answers, and they all say they’re guided by the Holy Spirit. Dispense with this heresy, and join the church Christ made on earth. He only made one. The holy Catholic Church.

do not be deceived God cannot be mocked a man reaps what he sows (galatians 6:7) in vain they worship Me teaching as doctrine the precepts of men (mark 7:7) follow the apostate roman catholic church? no way!

Christ did NOT create the wicked Catholic Church. False doctrine and idol worship is exactly what Christ preached against.

Because the bible is so vague and contradictory!!!! Not to mention, nothing but a book.

[@gtr1963]

Really? How so? Very presumptuous of you to say that. Sounds more like your opinion rather than fact

[@jerrygarciaisgod4409]

@@gtr1963 not sure if you are speaking to me. If so, i do not believe anything i stated was my opinion. The bible is quite vague and it also contains many contradictions. I have read the bible. Have you? If you want my opinion on the bible, here ya go. I think the bible is at best a fictional history book sprinkled with fairytales. I also know for a fact that i could write a better more moral book than "god" did. I would have atleast condemned slavery and not shown my people how to physically abuse them. I also would have made sure that women were equal to men not merely the property of men. And i definitely would not teach that if you rape a virgin you must marry hetlr and give her dad a few sheckles of silver. Honestly, does that sound like a book derived from the divine omniscient omnipotent creator of the universe and all it contains??
