"When I say 'baby club', what do you think of?"
Trying to talk with the youth and adults about different ways the Bible is interpreted by people the other week. I was attempting to look for an example which could illustrate how a single word could be interpreted different ways. And for some reason the only words that came to my head at that moment was "baby club".
So I asked, "When I say 'baby club', what do you think of?"
Here are some of the responses I got:
A social gathering for babies
A club for new moms
A tiny club
A club that babies use (like Bam Bam from the Flintstones)
A club made from a baby (we have some sick youth)
A club used exclusively on babies
A night club for babies who have black 'X's on their hands and drink apple juice all night
As you can see there are many ways to understand this simple phrase. How much so for a piece of Scripture?
