>> This idea is rejected in 2 Peter 1:20, where we are told the first rule of Bible interpretation: "First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture<<

Why does the Catholic Church twist scripture like that? It does NOT say interpretation of scripture. It says interpretation of prophecy.

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:20-21. Oh what a wicked web we weave when we practice to deceive.

Wow.

Pigeon hole the non-Catholics time with this thread, eh?

Slap a label on everyone and consider it a job well done.

“Why does the Catholic Church twist scripture like that? It does NOT say interpretation of scripture. It says interpretation of prophecy.”

Actually, it say “that no prophecy of Scripture”. No interpretation was involved in prophecy. God inspired it.

Why is it so frequently twisted by Roman Catholics as in the article here and trotted out on FR threads??

Clearly, many do not actually read the Scriptures, or value them, except as they appear to support their pre-beliefs.

I've never been able to read a scripture verse that the Roman Catholic Church quotes and see the same thing.

2 Peter 1:20-21 is very clear. It states that the prophesies in the scriptures were written by the will of the Holy Spirit and not through the will or understanding of man.

20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
