What is the "correct" way to interpret the Bible? Is there an objective "correct" way to interpret the Bible? If so, what methods should one employ to interpret the Bible "correctly"?JehovahsWitness wrote: those that interpret the bible correctly will never find any of its statements contradict proven scientific fact.
Let's use Genesis 1 as an example. What is the correct interpretation of Genesis 1 and what method did you employ to conclude your interpretation?
Specifically...
1. Is Genesis 1 literal or metaphorical? (what method did you use to reach this conclusion?)
2. If it is metaphorical, what is it a metaphor for? (what method did you use to reach this conclusion?)
3. What is your explanation for the Genesis 1 claim that God created plants before he created the sun? (and again, what method did you use to reach this conclusion?)
