This happens all the time doesn't it? To me it raises interesting questions about the protestant idea of individuals being correctly able to interpret scripture for themselves. Just how can the same Spirit tell two people different things anyway? The answer, I think, is that we all approach Scripture with our preconceptions and culture etc. I think it says something about being able to discuss differences openly, remembering that it is the authors original intent that matters, if that is even possible to discern!
When personal interpretations colide. Issues Etc...
