Hi, mighty... You asked, "how do you know God never intended eternity and infinity of meanings to stream from the initial primary context" (sic) Well, for one thing, He was speaking to human beings in a rational fashion (Hebrews 1:1-2). For a second reason, because Scripture is very clear that there is only one interpretation of any given passage (2 Peter 1:20). For a third reason, this is how Jesus handles the Word (Luke 24:27 and elsewhere). For a fourth reason, we have all the wonderful examples of the exegesis of the apostles in the rest of the New Testament. Etc. Etc. Our forum is rooted in the doctrine of sola Scriptura. We do not see the Scriptures as a "crystal ball" or even a manual on life. It is the revelation of Christ. It is not something mystical. Profound, yes! Mystical, no. I'd be particularly suspect of Philo. We interpret the Scriptures using sound hermeneutical rules (see post #156918 and the associated thread). "Nevertheless, we acknowledge the inward illumination of the Spirit of God to be necessary..." (LBCF chapter 1, paragraph 6). Philo gives no clear evidence of having been a Christian -- despite the earnest efforts of many to paint him as a "closet Christian" (an idea alien to the clear teachings of the Scriptures). What you are describing -- that "infinity of meanings" et al -- is at the very heart of the Alexandrian School (see post #170341). Sola Scriptura is rooted in the Antiochian School. If you want to read a really great, ancient, exegete, read John Chrysostom. In Him, Doc |

my point for point questioning resumes below: he was speaking... rationally true, in many areas but then it was to them (thee), even then if it was so clear why was Chri.st rejected when he was born and grew up as he was and did not us (you, ye, kjv) the world has changed drastically over 2000 years agriculture, fishing etc are not dominant in the first world there were points and even whole chapters where God, it appears, speaks irrationally, in figures of speech to us. eg Job, out of the thunder, Ezekiel 1,-secular critics of Ezekiel 1 say he may have been an extremely deranged schizo to experience all that, to St. Peter with the living creatures vision and SIGN to go mix with the Gentiles and eventually be rebuked by St.Paul for his stumbling sin in this. 2 true, there is only one PRIMARY interpretation, but there is INFINITUDE of overtones as to what the unbelievers and less faithful are misled to think. From here we can VERY LOGICALLY speculate accurately or at least as a discipline, in incrementally-progressively greater achievements of accuracy of prediction of unfolding world history and future details and other phenomena over time. eg Isaac Newton, Galileo, widely and deeply Bible conscious antiCs are eg da Vinci, Einstein Revd. Dake, in Gods Plan for Man, a book, quoted sb. eminent in declaring the Bible to be the best library for philosophy i have found Ecclesiastes alone to be the best Philosophy-Prophecy manual luke 24:27 can be interpreted in my allegoric way too. consider Isaiah, Psalms 1-10 im not clear what exegesis is. one pastor i know says it means dissecting and dissecting to derive meaning that not everybody can apprehend (Assembly of God, Asia). my Bible-Presbyterian pastor says the key reason for my imaginative errant interpretations is my absence of knowledge in this area thanks for your prompt help, sorry for not responding sooner, this hopefully is an interim answer embodying my reservations as to the efficaciousness of literalism whatever it really does. i feel it robs analytical-minded seekers of parallel truth reservoirs of the chance to find Christ out satisfyingly i will look at #15-- and #17-- in your last answer later when i have more time and less tired, thanks i have 2 serious medical conditions, asthma, incurable being one of them and i need to build stamina over at least 7 hours to concentrate without disruption. i am glad you understand |

Hello mightilycalled, I would like to bring a gentle warning based on church history. About A.D. 200 and after, men of Alexandria, such as Clement and especially his top student Origen, were well-known for continually searching out the Scriptures for what you term "parallel truth reservoirs." In the end, Origen was led into grave error. My point is that a person must be careful against finding treasures that are not really in Scripture. Steve |

the light shines on in the darkness, which has not mastered it, the light-John 1 this could be understood allegorically though secondarily, typologically, numerologically, symbolically, whatever as modern pious Jews like to say and write, preach and proclaim that the world opinion surrounds the propogation of the Gospel and NT Prophecy, yet they misappropriate it so in my opinion as a NT prophet who i believe i am and am partially accepted as so by some Christians in local churches, you have to decidedly NOT ignore these misinterpretations and miscommunications to understand the signs of today prophetically pointing to Jesus return. they EQUALLY constitute reality; they are real beliefs, though unbeliever or misguided beliefs |
