The meaning (letter & spirit) of God's Word should not differ between Christians - but unfortunately it does. The church evolved over time. Until the schism of 1054, there was one catholic (small c) church headed by Bishops from across the Christian world. One of the things the pre-schism church did was hold periodic councils made up of Bishops representing all of Christendom. Among other things, these councils addressed things like "meaning of scripture". Sadly, the preponderance of differences and separation between different Christian churches/bodies today - is itself an obstacle to having a single translation/meaning to God's Word. Taking it a step further, within a given church it seems everyone has an opinion as to what a verse means. And then there are cafeteria Christians who pick and choose acceptable scripture verses based on their personal bias.
We know the Lord is not the author of confusion. God's Word does not change. The meaning of God's Word is singular. It's time for a prayer.
Father, make your body one as you and your Father are one - in Jesus' name we pray!
My reply to RoosterRedux follows your comment.
Various versions, along with commentaries, sermons, YouTube videos all give information.
Discerning doctrine is an exercise in deductive reasoning in which small parts are gathered, then assembled to arrive at a picture, the picture being the doctrine.
We err by believing that which is not true, by not believing that which is true, or by assembling just a small part of the picture and then making a (usually erroneous) declaration of the entire picture.
For example, Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come onto me, for of such is the kingdom of God.’ A large protestant church morphs that verse into a doctrine that states that little children are legitimate church members of that denomination.
They ignore the next verse which reads, “For anyone who does not enter the kingdom as a little child, is not worthy of the kingdom.”
By failing to include that next verse, this denomination, in their authoritative literature deceive their members. They left a critical piece out of the puzzle. Their doctrine is completely wrong.
