Re: The Scriptures Are Subjective

So according to this line of reasoning God simply inspired words at random (doesn't really seem possible) without any meaning attached to them and for no reason? If any of the above statement is not true than the Bible is absolute and not subjective.

If God had a reason for giving scripture then there is an absolute meaning to what He said.

If God was getting a message across to us than there is an absolute meaning we are to understand.

To say that there the bible is not absolute and it can mean whatever you want it to mean and ever bodies interpretation is correct is both illogical sense conflicting views cannot both be correct and seems lazy in that it avoids the work of proper diligent bible study for the truth. It also makes God a liar since God is not the author of confusion if there is no sense in the Bible it is simply a book of confusion.

You are correct there is an absolute and correct meaning to each scripture, but people are quite willing to let their ideas color the meaning of each scripture.
Per example as a oneness believer the statement
"Hear Oh Israel the Lord your God is one Lord"
to me it means that God is indeed an absolute one.
however to a Trinitarian the same statement means a compound one.

you see the bias a person has reinterprets the meaning of a passage.
