There's only one valid biblical interpretation upon reading the *words* of the biblical scriptures.

That's biblically valid, that's according to biblical words of book chapter and verse.

Any questions, please leave a comment. That includes the critics as well.

I don't find it logical to use something to prove itself. In your example, you used scriptures repeatedly to prove that it only had one meaning. This approach is subjective and not objective, as it relies on the interpretation of the scriptures and requires the reader to be a believer in order to agree with your argument. It is apparent that the Bible can be interpreted in different ways, as evidenced by the use of parables. While some parts of the Bible are explicitly stated and had only one explicit meaning, others are open to interpretation, and interpretation is always subject to many perspectives. This is evidenced by the fact that many different religions have been formed from the same scripture.

I would like to be the contender of this debate; I have several things I would like to bring up that were not discussed.

bump

I accepted debate, this does not mean I believe in what I defend. I am just a crazy lunatic who accepted the debate without understanding what it meant. Sowwy.

Whoever believes the bible teaches there is more than one way to interpret it, present that scripture.

I said there is only one BIBLICALLY VALID interpretation. Not only one biblical interpretation .

"There's only one valid biblical interpretation. "
Yes. That it is false.

Contemplating on accepting.

Many different church organizations and there is only one bible for them. That's the point of this topic. One bible,one interpretation and there's many different denominations. That's poor arithmetic. They can't all be following the same book and reading something different. It's that "reading different" part.

You know the correct interpretation when you know what the scripture teaches.

And how is one supposed to know what the one and only valid interpretation is. There are as many interpretations as churches.

Amen

I am guessing that the opponent has to argue that there are two or more? I am not even sure if that would be logically possible. Because two interpretations that arrive at opposite conclusions, means one of them must be invalid.
