"Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

[ShineTheLight]

Nothing new under the sun, and what has been will be again, as Solomon wrote. I think we can take it that fallen human nature is pretty much the same in every generation.....scoffing and mistreating those who are sent. Noah was a preacher of righteousness and they did not believe the one who was sent, just like they didn't believe Jesus.

That passage that Solomon says in Ecclesiastes is deeper than that. People had advanced technology in the past. But this is something that the people who rewrite history and who control information buries.
