I have a Sola Scriptura view of Scripture. I want badly to interpret it well. Sometimes I feel like the Scripture police at Bible study group. Some of them are, let’s say, not very well read, as genuine and serious as they are. I’ve backed off a little lately.
Recently something came up with my wife regarding This Is The Day in Psalms. I think that people don’t know what they’re singing about but I think she has a valid point in that not everything in the Psalms has just one single meaning.
A lot of times among certain people (not my wife) just sort of shrug their shoulders at things I think are very important. Sacred even. Many times online too, but actually more in person. It gets lonely.
And I wonder, how much of a theological perfectionist am I? How many meanings can certain passages have? When do I just let it go? When do I fight for rightly dividing the word of truth? Am I even able to?
