There is a basic error in our present course of thinking. Unless it is corrected we are doomed to continue on the sordid street of strife, and perpetuate contention and confusion. We have confused the new covenant writings with the Living Word. We have substituted interpretation of scripture for faith in Jesus. We have made opinions about things, not belief in Him, our foundation of hope and unity.
Revelation is divine in origin.
It is what God said. Interpretation is human. It is what men think God meant by what He said. The first is an uncovering of the thoughts of the infinite mind. The second is an application of the finite mind to what is revealed, to determine its requirements for ourselves.
