I'll remember that saying. The bible is written so you can understand it with the teaching of the Holy Spirit, but it is also written so if you want you can misunderstand it. I believe there is more than one level to a verse For example the sacrifies were a type of Christ. But get the first level right before you even attempt to get to the second level. Bless You, Darcy |

Darcy: I agree with you when you write: "I believe there is more than one level to a verse For example the sacrifies were a type of Christ. But get the first level right before you even attempt to get to the second level." That's exactly where many people err. They are so eager to jump on the application of a verse that they skip over the first two steps, which are to determine: 1. What does this passage of Scripture SAY? 2. What does it MEAN? What did it mean to the people living at the time when this was first written? What does it mean according to the words used and according to the context? If one doesn't take these steps in order, then one will likely err in the third part, which is application, i.e., what is the practical application for us today? Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Rman Yep totally agree I have learned to the more you know about scripture you realize how little you do know about scripture. I love the book of Genesis every time I go through that book it never fails I find something new. And I always end up with a lot more questions than I had the prior time I have read it. When I study I use a mini cassette recorder on the recorder I put down my thoughts on a verse put what the Holy Spirit tells me about it and all my questions. Then eventally goes into note books. I like the cassette thing to because if I get a thought in the middle of the day or something on a verse I can put it on there before I forget. I learned the hard way thoughts don't stick around to long. God Bless you, Darcy |
