    You are correct, the Bible does require interpretation. And that interpretation comes by letting the Bible be it's
    own interpreter under the direction of the Holy Spirit. In this was, people of all ages can actually hold the same
    beliefs, because it is the same Bible and the same Holy Spirit who teaches everyone. One is not free to interpret
    the Bible as one sees fit. We do not fit it into our life or personal beliefs, we fit our life to it. We must
    submit the the Holy Spirit, or we may believe error. Naturalism does not hold any sway over the Bible.

    You want to discuss specifics?
