1 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | BradK | 217874 | ||
Saved: Steve said it well and I am in agreement with him on this point. We are not in dispute that the 66 books of the bible are inspired, inerrant, nor authoritative. Where we differ is on how we approach the hermenuetic principle (how we interpret them)- such as a historical narrative like Acts! We should not ignore the Historical Principle- specifically, Genre which characterizes each book. To quote Hank Hanegraff from his book "Christianity in Crises", "...individual passages of scripture are synergistic rather than deflective with respect to the whole of Scripture. Scriptural synergy demands that individual Bible passages may never be interpreted in such a way as to conflict with the whole of scripture. Nor may we assign arbitrary meaning to words or phrases that have the referent in biblical history." So, I'm not offering opinion on this matter. Let's be clear about that. I hope this gives you a better understanding of what I was trying to convey:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

The hermeneutic principle has to be subordinated to the literal, plain message contained in the scriptures. Remember that the hermeneutic principal is manmade, not God-breathed. In every case where the hermeneutic principal alters the plain message the hermeneutic principal should be discarded. I have little regard for manmade contrivances such as dispensationalism. | ||||||
