Isn't that just fallacious?

It makes no sense, therefore it's false.

can any novel be interpreted to mean anything?

come on now

there is an original intent

I can read a book and not get the entirety of the author's original intent

it's due to my own imperfections and their inability to communicate perfectly

It's very hard with fictional religious texts.

but they can still communicate somewhat

and I can still understand to an extent

there is still some information being relayed it's just a matter of how much is lost in "translation"

and the literal physical resurrection of Christ is all over the new testament

If you and I have two different interpretations of an ancient text, how do we know which one of us is right?

we would have to do a lot of intense study

exegesis

not eisegesis

don't ready into the text anything that isnt there

There's thousands of ways to interpret any given religious text.

you would have to go to seminary to really be able to have any authority on it

so?

thousands of wrong ways to interpret a text like the bible

So which interpretation is right? Which denomination.

each denomination gets some things right and others wrong, this is because people are dumb animals and the text was written by dumb animals

the text itself is flawed

that doesn't mean it can't communicate anything at all clearly

the people reading it are flawed

this does not mean they are incapable of understanding any of it

I'm not defending the bible as a book full of truths

I'm saying many different authors wrote it

and they had their original intentions

and that is the meaning of the text

there are not multiple valid interpretations

because one denomination disagrees about one thing doesn't mean anything

it means someone is wrong or no one is right and the meaning is lost

these books or letters etc... poems

they weren't meant to be all grouped together

they were written across hundreds of years

in different languages, places etc

of course there will be contradictions

one correct interpretation

infinite incorrect interpretations
