I once asked a teacher and translator: should translations be literal or figurative? She answered me: neither one nor the other, the translation must be “IDIOMATICAL”. I found it very revealing and illustrative, it sounded correct, perfect. Those are two rigid, obsolete, dead structures, and man, how communication is alive, how vocabulary is an organism, he saw, well, it is born, it changes, it grows, it is modified, and it also dies. Like the word “so” or the sound of the axe. The translation must be intelligent. The same can be applied with the interpretation that we must make of the Bible, it must be honest, impartial, truthful, intelligent, alive. An Internet user arguing in favor of abortion told me that in the Bible the punishment for killing a man is life itself, but if one causes an abortion, he must pay a fine... ergo he is not considered a living man... Come on ! If you want to deceive yourself, go ahead, you can do it, the devil will be happy with you, that's what it's about, seeing how you are. The Bible gives you the initial guideline, then you must follow with your reason and impartiality, if you want to play dumb, to argue with fallacies in favor of the immediate satisfaction of your ego, you can do it, but you will not get very far into the realm of God. The Bible is precisely testing that very thing, who is who, according to how you interpret it. How many times does God put us in suspense in a point of limbo, where believing or not believing has 50% of each part, so that our purest nature emerges without contamination to see how we really are. Some also say the Bible does not prohibit drugs, when it does prohibit eating fat because it is harmful, what would it say about drugs then? "The paths to the Lord are straight and the righteous walk along them but the wicked stumble." The Bible often contradicts itself, sometimes formally, sometimes conceptually. The starting point is to make an interpretation of the SPIRITUAL Bible, you must feel with all intensity that it is the correct one, because the union of the Holy Spirit, common sense, and experience tells you so, and everything combining it with your interior and with your current situation. Well yes or yes it must be an interpretation with your now, with your common sense, which is God today, when the lyrics are God yesterday, but we live here and not yesterday! For example, if you see that all the pastors are possessed by the devil, but the word says “do not stop assembling,” are you going to respect the dead letter when you are in danger from being surrounded by possessed people? Don't forget that the Bible says “respect the authorities” but then it says those who accept the mark of the beast will go to hell. The Bible says help the poor, but it also says “he who does not work should not eat.” One must know when is when and it is fatal to make a mistake. Like the Hebrews who open themselves to destructive paganism but closed themselves to Christ by the dead letter as does someone as intelligently prepared as Ben Shapiro, and we all know with all the certainty in the world that they erred. Because “the lineage is from the father and not from the mother” and blah blah blah, and “the Sabbath” and blah blah blah. A phrase that breaks your head and that helps a lot at this point is “the message is in the receiver”, wow! Not in the middle, the closed book full of dust in the library is dead, it is when a human reads it that it comes to life in it, because it is alive, if it is capable of making a spiritual interpretation, neither literal nor figurative, but you see, correct, perfect. So don't play dumb by deceiving yourself because that's what you're trying to see in the Bible if you have that tendency, and so you're a cunning person trapped in his cunning, as the Bible says, that no one deceives God or our conscience, which is unbribable and in On the day of judgment he will either defend us or he will not betray us. Get your batteries. God bless you.
