Bruce R. McConkie - Interpretation of Scripture



INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE
DNTC, VOLUME 3, PAGE 356
 
Let it be said; let it be written; let it be known– in all places, among every people, in all ages, from creation’s morn to all eternity– that all scripture comes from God, by the power of the Holy Ghost, and means only what He who knows all things intended it to mean!...

Unless and until a scripture means to man what it means to God, man has not caught the vision of the truth taught, or comprehended the doctrine being revealed.  Two persons, two groups of theologians, or two churches cannot reach divergent conclusions as to the meaning of any scripture and both of them be right.  And be it known, on earth and in heaven, now and forever, that truth only will prevail!
