okay so there was this question on my application for holy cross fellows and then i realized that i probably answeredd it all wrong, but this is what i wrote, and i felt like i had to put it somewhere. here it is:

I believe that God gives us both special revelation (the Bible) and general revelation (things we can learn from nature, history, observation, experience, and science). As they say, all truth is God’s truth. Anything we may see as Truth should be tested by looking at both special and general revelation. We should accept the Bible as authority and God’s word, but not by any one person’s interpretation. I feel that interpretation can be flawed as we are sinful. Biblical interpretation should be done prayerfully and tested by other believers and by what we see as given in general revelation. If what we see in nature is different from our interpretation of the Bible...maybe there was a misinterpretation and we should re-evaluate what the Scriptures are saying.
