The Holy Spirit interprets the Bible to each individual. The preacher merely is led by the Holy Spirit to relate what God says.

The interpretation is usually made by the pastor or minister as well as the individual. As to the right interpretation, that why there are so many different sects, ie. Baptist, Methodist etc.

The Holy Spirit, of course!!! I couldn't understand a word of it, until I asked God, to fill me with the "Holy Spirit", so I could better understand it !!! The very next day, it was as tho Moses had parted the "Red Sea", you know?!! The bible became,such a "Wonderfully interesting,history" book to me, I got to where I couldn't put it down,at night.. Its a weapon against the devil, and our teacher, as to how we're suppose to live our, lives.. Its a "Help-book", its just thee Most Awesome book, ever written!! And once, I understood it , I then understood what my "Pastor" was saying, when he'd read, the bible to the church's congregation.. And the word of "God" , just opened up a whole new "Concept", about life to me, and I didn't worry, like I did prior, to asking God's help........I could give you so many testimony's about, my life after that night I prayed that prayer, but I dont want to take up alot of space, for others to give their imput.....May God Bless you , and give you Better Understanding, of His word.....

every one interprets what they read differently. The bible is no different.Read it your self and make up your own mind. but always ask questions for clarification

They are all wrong. The presuppose there is a God before they read, because they want to live. If they didn't want to live they woudln't be alive.

unfortunately most of us allow the church to do it for us. It's sad really because it doesn't allow us to think for ourselves. That's the reason I don't go to church.
