The reason for the "several thousand interpretations", is because they are being discerned through their natural man/minds.No, the interpretation is not dependent upon what you call the mind of Christ. If so we have several thousand interpretations from the mind of Christ that disagree with each other! The Bible interprets its own symbols, and when it doesn't we can only guess at their meanings and those guesses are anywhere from 0-100% wrong!
All Born Again Christians HAVE the mind of Christ, but unfortunately most don't access it, but instead discern and interpret scripture through their natural mind.
1 Cor. 2
[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
[14] But the natural man [mind] receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
[15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
[16] For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
