Original: All of the different authors each had their personal theologies and motives, their own “psychogenetic makeup” for interpreting the events, as did the scholars and other persons interpreting their writing. The common denominator is the human condition and the fact that man is fallible. The issue then, for Christians and scholars alike, is whether the Bible is, in fact, the inspired Word of God, or is simply a manmade construct.
Revised: Just as you have reasons of interpreting your religious text because of your background, the authors of The Bible did as well. All of the different authors each had their personal theologies and motives, their own “psychogenetic makeup” for interpreting the events, as did the scholars and other persons interpreting their writing. For example, some of the authors of Mark 7:24-30 may have portrayed Jesus as exclusive towards Jews because they were Jewish and felt like Jesus should’ve demonstrated more of an allegiance to his people. The common denominator is the human condition and the fact that we are fallible. The issue then, for Christians and scholars alike, is whether the Bible is, in fact, the inspired Word of God, or is simply a manmade construct.
I’m not sure if it improves it because this passage is kind of hodge podge to begin with. But I do think the additions make it easier to read and if not, at least a bit more engaging.
