I'm sure sometimes people ask that question quite innocently, meaning nothing more than "Can you tell me what that verse means?" However, words mean things. What that question <em>really</em> means, whether the person asking it intends it that way or not, is "What the verse means to you and what it means to me may be totally different, but it doesn't matter. You have your truth and I have mine." But truth is truth, and God's Word is absolute truth (John 17:17). Whatever you or I <em>think</em> about the matter doesn't change the truth.
