Provide an example of how a misinterpretation of Scripture could impact teaching, decision-making, or spiritual development in a school setting.
Someone may think that Judas Iscariot's suicide is an example of what to do when one fails Christ. This is a definite misinterpretation.
Generally speaking, I believe that the misinterpretation of scripture is one part of why we see so many young people leave the church. People are quick to use snippets of scripture (incorrectly interpreted) to make promises to our youth or to make the gospel more desirable to youth. Then when the students recognize that this "scripture" can't be trusted, they feel that scripture as a whole is unreliable and not something on which they can base their faith.
An example of how a misinterpretation of Scripture could impact teaching would be to take a verse out of context and miss the real purpose completely.
Using Jeremiah 29:11 out of context can lead students to expect instant success from God. When things don’t go their way, they may feel let down or question their faith. Teaching Scripture accurately helps students trust God through both the highs and lows of life.
That the church is a religion that was built on Peter.
Misinterpretation of Scripture leads to misunderstanding of God's word and truths. We may accidentally insert our own worldviews which is not the mission of a Christian school.
