I understand what you mena by this question. I was thinking about being a minister but quit going to college for it because I realized that at a seminary they tech you to read the Bible and interpret it the way that they want it interpreted. They do not allow you to freely think bout what you read in the Bible. Essentially they brain wash you that way you can't start a revolution in the Christian religion. I feel that I should be able to read the Bible and see what God helps me to believe what it says. So, no, I am not sure that God interprets the Bible the same way the brainwashed religious zealots do.

The Bible is beneficial for seeking out a Godly course in life. It is explaining why we are here and what the future holds for both the righteous and the un righteous. It states that it is Gods Word written through the men...not by men.
Hence the Bible is not interpreted by God. It is a great question since many try to interpret the scriptures. The key to unlocking the vast knowlege in the Bible is a humble heart hungry for spiritual guides and goals and being honest with oneself. The Bible is not an instrument that one can PLAY any old tune on. It has real specific meaning and instructions for our day. I am sure that I have found the truth of the Scriptures since few can explain the prophecy of Scriptures that are common knowlege to my fellow ministers. We give free...at no cost studies of the Bible. We do not have a paid class of ministers that fleece the flock

Only God's Holy Spirit is capable of interpreting His word. According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, thus all believers should have appropriate guidance. So why do so many professing believers have so many differing interpretations? It's because of the perceptions of the listener. A room full of people is perfectly capable of hearing the same speaker/speech and coming away with different impressions.

Since God is the one who taught me how to interpret the Bible, then yes.

In the bible, there is a statement of God saying, " My thoughts are different than yours". We are of this world, so of course his interpretations & thoughts are different than ours. However, his words do give us guidance & revelation to our being which he created. If we could begin to interpret how we should love each other according to the second commandment, we would be much better people.

No.
We come from a world where it is natural to see hate and bad things...
Things in the bible that are beautiful and wise are ripped apart by people who pass on what they found to other people. Dont look into it. Just accept it, God doesnt want you to look into it.
Just read it and take the advice that it gives you. We will never be able to see it they way god sees it. Hes greater than us and we shouldnt even try to find the "hidden meanings" and all the bull s h i t people talk about. We shouldnt try to find out the way he interprets it, because hes smarter than us and when we do that we RUIN IT.

That's the whole issue isn't it? Wouldn't you say that should "God" interpret something differently than you do, yet you persecute others according to YOUR interpretation that you are spreading a false belief/lie? Perhaps, keeping that in mind, it is better for a person to keep his interpretations himself and allow others to do the same, lest you lead someone else to the wrong conclusion and away from your deity.

I do not interpret the Bible. I leave that to people who believe in those things.

Just like the Holy Spirit wrote the bible through prophets. The Spirit will help you to fully understand the Word, if and only if, your heart is right with God.
