Overview: Thesis- When we read the Bible, how should we--interpret it------ HERMENEUTICS - How we interpret scripture-- - Do we need interpretation rules--- - Considerations--- - culture, discrepencies, contradictions,-- allegory-- - Why study the study of scripture--- - 1 Peter 3-15, Jude 3, Matthew 28-19,-- 2 Timothy 2-15, Ephesians 4-14--- Entire Bible is fixed, objective, revelation-- from God. Is not subjective, open to various-- interpretations. Is not relative or changing--- Proper scriptural interpretation is literal,-- grammatical and historical.-- Literal- says what it says in plain sense-- Grammatical- can be poetic, symbological, etc-- i.e. uses word -like- - simile. Uses figures-- of speech in obvious ways.-- Historical- not stories, but real history.--- Must consider context - verses, chapters and-- books are part of a whole. Must consider the-- authors audience, time written, issue addressed--- Compare scripture with scripture- God cannot-- lie, mislead, contradict himself.--- Ways to approach text--- - Exegesis - taking out of-from Bible-- - Eisegesis - putting into the Bible-- We should strive to take out.--- Ultimately, we should find Jesus in all Bible.-- He taught this in Luke 24-27. If you don't-- see-read Christ in all scripture, you end up-- teaching morals, do's-dont's, stories without-- a basis or reason.
