1 | If our answers relied on Scripture alone | Hebrews | kalos | 1458 | ||
Dear bjanko, In my previous reply to you, "I agree the Scripture does need to be interpreted", JVH0212 Sun 03-18-01, 9:36am, I said the following: "...when one interprets, there are sound principles of interpretation that one should follow." I would like to expand a little on my comment. Briefly, the principles of interpretation are: 1) Interpret grammatically and historically. 2) Interpret according to the immediate and wider contexts. 3) Interpret in harmony with the whole Bible by comparing scripture with scripture. . . . Articles, chapters and entire books have been written on the principles of interpretation, but I hope the above will suffice to sum it all up in few words. |

Thank you for clarification. You'll be glad to know that you have still not succeeded in causing me to disagree with you. We remain in 100 percent agreement. :) | ||||||

100 percent agreement! That's fantastic! You know, I never deliberately set out to pick an argument or to upset anyone. I try to answer Bible questions as accurately and as concisely as I can. It gives me no pleasure to know that some of what I write will conflict with the personal beliefs and opinions of others. At all times I try to include one or more clear verses of Scripture to support what I say. And I avoid speculation as much as possible. Thanks for your note, bjanko. Have a great day in the Lord. | ||||||

You're welcome. I figured you were not really out to pick a fight. I was just kidding about that part. I think your view of how to go about interpretation is very sound. I wish you a good day as well. | ||||||

Oh, I knew you were kidding about that part. I should have made that clear in my reply. You know, talk about controversy -- I think if I wrote an entry and all I did was quote John 3:16, someone would write in finding fault. Such things as: "Well, why didn't you quote verse 17 along with verse 16? Don't you know you're not supposed to add to or take away the words of the Bible?" You know what I mean? Maybe I'll try it as an experiment one day. Thanks for your fellowship and good wishes. In Christ, JVH0212 |
