Our interpretations [of the Bible] reveal less about God or the Bible than they do about us. They reveal what we want to defend, what we want to attack, what we want to ignore, what we’re unwilling to question.

Knowing that you’re not suggesting that the Bible has more than one accurate interpretation, I think there’s a lot of truth to that statement.

Maybe it would be better to say that “The way we approach the Bible … ”
Of course the Bible only has one accurate interpretation.

I don’t know. This comment should be a good indicator since it shows the time of post.
Thanks for being so attentive Sam!

Sam, I still don’t have my photo. I did a gravatar thing 2 days ago. Any thoughts on this?

Skyping would be fun. Do you happen to have iSight?
January 18, 2006 at 11:02 am
Sam.
No iSight…I think that’s just Mac isn’t it? We’re on PC’s I’m afraid!

There seems to be a few problems with the Gravatar site at the moment and I’ve not been able to login for a day or so now. I’ll keep you updated as to what’s happening.
