Home Forums If we all come to the biblical text with bias and previous conditioning, how can we expect to arrive at an interpretation that resembles the authoritative Word of God?

Home Forums When believers interpret a passage differently (either within a church or across denominations), how should they relate to each other in a way that promotes unity in the Body of Christ and yet continues to minister God’s Word with conviction?

    When interpreting a passage differently, the first step should be to pray to the Father in hopes that He might manifest amid confusion. The second step is to be wise in how you interact with that person making sure that you speak with humility and grace. Practicing speaking to people with grace helps convey the message you are attempting for that person to hear.
