The rest is up to interpretation and/or how it speaks to each as individuals.

This is MY truth and I'm not implying that it should be anyone else's truth.

This is my personal belief as well -- regarding both reading/understanding the Bible as well as convictions in living life.

I believe that my God might have a different road for me to travel than He does another, so I might be convicted in different ways and interpret the Bible in different ways.

It doesn't make either way absolutely right or wrong, just different. It doesn't make me appear to follow God's path better or worse, just different. It doesn't make my interpretation of Paul's instructions/writings better, worse or more clear...just possibly different in the understanding I might feel meant for me at the time.

For instance there are passages of the Bible that I interpret and apply as instruction one way in my life now, but the reading of it last year I might have felt led to apply in a different way to my life, thus giving me a different understanding, then instruction in accordance with the road meant to be traveled in the moment.
