It therefore behooves all sincere believers to be very careful in our approach to handling and interpreting His precious truth (cp 2Ti 2:15- note, Paul in Acts 20:27, 2Co 4:2, He 5:14- note Pr 30:6, Re 22:18- note, Re 22:19- note Dt 4:2, 12:32 Jas 3:1). Biblical truth is the ultimate objective truth (Ps 119:160- note, Pr 30:5) for it is God's inerrant, plenary (complete in every aspect) inspired Word (2Ti 3:16- note). He said what He said and meant what He said, regardless of whether we as finite creatures can agree on what He said.
God did not stutter nor did He speak in ambiguities. While there is no doubt that genuine believers will differ in their interpretations on a number of difficult passages, the truth is that every passage has only one valid, correct interpretation. We've all heard the following response when we have tried to share a truth from Scripture - " Well, that's just your interpretation!" This retort begs the question of whether there are in fact many valid interpretations or whether there is only one interpretation intended by the author (and the Author).
