Person A says the Bible says X. Person B says the Bible says Y. Person A says person B says the Bible says something that it doesn't. Person B says that about person A.
Who's right?
I say they are both right, in a sense. The very flexibility and ambiguity of scriptures that allow one to reconcile literally any "apparent" contradiction also allow one to reconcile a scripture with literally any teaching. This is not an abstract hypothetical -- it has happened in real life, as we have seen over and over again. It is the reason there are so many sects of Christianity. It is the reason that even Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal Christians are not united in their doctrines.
