In some cases, regrettably not all, Christians accept the scriptures as the very Word of God.

More often than not those that don't accept the Scriptures as the very Word of God have a problem with authority.

What is often argued is the interpretation of those words.

A wonderful area of discussion. A tipping point though is where we follow all interpretations of particularly insightful theologians and don't measure them for consistency with Scripture.

That’s true. And we’re particularly lazy in that regard.

Interesting. And what role, if any, does the Church play in resolving the death match of Battling Interpretations?
