Prescriptive Truth
I hold creative Christians directly to scripture. I'm a little forgiving with (and somewhat welcoming of) interpretations of scripture, but if something seems to contradict, wrongly emphasise, or even exagerate a biblical truth, my guard goes up fast. The truth is so fragile, and I can't allow it to be diluted in my own head/heart. That even goes for poetry or abstract art! I must add though, I appreciate art that honestly probes the mysteries of life and God, and don't want everything to be literal. ( Heaven forbid!)
On the absolutes, certainty; on the interpretations, grace.
