Do bible interpretations change over time?

Answer 1

Probably. For example, some words in the bible had multiple meanings. Generally many Christians say that Adam was given dominion over the earth. Later interpretations demonstrate that the same word that is used to give Adam power over the earth also means to tend (or protect) the earth. Thus some Christians, such as those who believe that it is their duty to protect the earth, may interpret the bible in a different way than the majority of Christians. I think that people's take on the issues of today affects how they choose to interpret the bible.

Answer 2

That sort of depends on who you ask. I mean a Fundamentalist will probably have a different interpretation of a given verse than a Liberal would. Or a Charasmaniac will probably have a different interpretation than an Athiest.

Answer 3

heck yea!!! the biggest changes comes when its being translated. words from one language don't mean exactly the same in another language, the translator chooses the words that might fit the meaning. or there are no direct translatable words so something is pieced together. also people interpret the meanings differently according to what is socially acceptable at the time.

Answer 4

Yeah actually moses didn't talk to a burning bush. He had lunch with it... they went out on a few dates.. sooner or later they were in love, the fire between them was hot! They made a baby jesus.. but sadly he burned alive when he came out. So they brought out a cross, and they tried to resurrect him by using the cross to catapult him across the earth. For some reason... this worked.. and the easter bunny was very happy. He declared the first two people who posted to this question as idiots. Suddenly, Jesus walked on wine and the crowd went wild.

Answer 5

No. The meaning stays the same. There are different versions of the Bible, but they are just saying the same thing in different ways to make it easier for people to understand.

Answer 6

Yep!!

Answer 7

nope...
