If we are Christians, then why is Jesus' revelation to you the opposite of Jesus' revelation to me?
if ten people sit in a desert surrounding a fire, each ones view of the fire will be effected by their own perceptions and views.One might be looking at the fire with the sun facing him directly effecting his eyesight while another could be under the shade of a cactus and see the fire differently.
I'm sure there is some background to this question, Planks, but I, for one, do not claim to have any revelations from Christ, other than what He has revealed in the Holy Bible. I also tend to be suspicious of those who claim to be prophets and who receive special instructions and revelations from the Lord.
I think two legitimate followers of Christ can come to different understandings and may have differing viewpoints on Scripture, in fact, it happens a lot.
Most of this, I suspect, can be accounted for through education and training. If someone is trained to see something a certain way, then that is generally how they will interpret what they see before them. If the other follower has not been predisposed to a previous opinion or viewpoint, he or she may come up with something completely different, and, who knows, perhaps even more accurate.
Jesus only had one message and one revelation. How people interpret it is what changes, not the message itself.

How do you interpret the second death in the book of Revelations?It is found 4 times in Revelations and as I understand it, it is symbolic for the second desruction of the temple and the Jewish religion a second time at the hands of Rome. The first time was by babylon. It is the spiritual death of...

The Book of Revelation is the most contraversial book in the Bible! For many people it is written in a literal language that means everything in the book will happen as it is said. Others take a more Figurative/Historical view of the book meaning the book was written in a way that it would get past...

If Jesus never wrote anything why is the New Testament the basis of Christianity?If Paul wrote 2/3 of the New Testament is Christianity not a Pauline invention since Jesus wrote none of it?

Why do Christians who predict the end of the world often mention Matthew 24:36?Matthew 24:36 reads "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." However, many Christians who make predictions of the end of the world/the...
