Interpreting The Bible
73
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
- culture, discrepencies, contradictions,
- Why study the study of scripture?
- 1 Peter 3:15, Jude 3, Matthew 28:19,
2 Timothy 2:15, Ephesians 4:14
- 1 Peter 3:15, Jude 3, Matthew 28:19,
- 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.
