God has appointed teachers in the church. And GOD HAS APPOINTED IN THE CHURCH, first apostles, second prophets, third TEACHERS, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. (NASB 1 Corinthians 12:28, emphasis added) [He whose gift is] practical service, let him give himself to serving; he who teaches, to his teaching; (AMPLIFIED Romans 12:7) 'A proper understanding of the Bible depends on two things: '(1) the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit, and '(2) the interpreting work of the reader. '[The word illumination has to do with] "the ministry of the Holy Spirit which makes clear the truth of the written revelation in the Bible. In reference to the Bible, revelation relates to its content or material, inspiration to the method of recording that material, and illumination to the meaning of the record. (...) 'Illumination, though assured, does not always guarantee automatic understanding. As indicated above, the believer must be in fellowship with the Lord in order to experience this ministry. But also he must study, using the teachers God has given to the church (Rom. 12:7) and the abilities and means at his own disposal.' ____________________ Page 1959, The Ryrie Study Bible, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Moody Press, Chicago, 1976, 1978 |

The best method of interpretation? Many hold to the strange notion that: The best way to understand the Bible is to read the text of the Bible and whatever comes to mind first must automatically be the right interpretation. |
