But like all other books I think the purpose of the Bible is to be interpreted by the individual. Not by clergy, your parents, or any other external entity. Call me crazy.
Insight from others can help, but I personally believe that the most meaning comes from something you arrive at on your own.
So...yeah. I'm always interested in the interpretations of others. But ultimately my faith is my own, it doesn't rely on anyone else.
