What is the correct interpretation of Christianity to follow?

Written by: Zachary Batten


The entire Bible is man's interpretation, thus making it harder to believe in and follow. Christianity is completely based on the interpretation of the disciples of Jesus. For the Gospels are titled "The Gospel According to Mathew" or "The Gospel According to Mark". Which raises a huge discrepancy, we have no proof these men were writing while these things were happening. So if they did in fact write at all it was after everything transpired. This raises an authenticity issue, because we have no real way of knowing if they made any mistakes at all. Since the Gospels are very well written in the sense they give much detail it is hard to believe they could recall such events after in great detail. For instance we see in my previous article that Mark 16:9-20 is considered a fabrication, for it is not among the early transcripts. Nor does it fit the way Mark wrote in the rest of the Gospel. This makes it even harder to believe they had the ability to recall events in great detail.
