text: Probably. For example, some words in the bible had multiple meanings. Generally many Christians say that Adam was given dominion over the earth. Later interpretations demonstrate that the same word that is used to give Adam power over the earth also means to tend (or protect) the earth. Thus some Christians, such as those who believe that it is their duty to protect the earth, may interpret the bible in a different way than the majority of Christians. I think that people's take on the issues of today affects how they choose to interpret the bible.
