I guess what I mean is that sometimes passages can have multiple meanings.

What do you mean by this? Multiple meanings?
Seems like the original author would have had one intended meaning. Perhaps multiple applications? Just curious. There are various schools of thoughts concerning Biblical interpretation. I tend to line-up more with the group that believes in finding the original, intended meaning first, then making an application. Others claim there are various meanings that can be pulled, and it's these who get mighty creative with the Text, without any safeguarding of their subjective (read "private") interpretation.
Just a thought concerning hermeneutic. Perhaps another thread.
