1 | Questions to ask while Reading the Word | Neh 8:18 | DocTrinsograce | 243212 | ||
What is surprising? (Grace surprises sinners) If we aren't surprised, perhaps complacency has set in. We fail to assume grace. What is uncomfortable? (The Word is a mirror) If we aren't uncomfortable, then our viewpoint is probably wrong. What does this mean? (The Word is truth) We must begin from a starting point of humility. What is meant in the context of all Scripture. Scripture is rational, it never means one thing one day and another thing another day. The OT is to be used to guide our understanding of the NT... The NT is to be used to enlighten, and in subordination, to the study of the OT.. What is the particular significance of each separate passage? Consider figures of speech, metaphors, and proverbs Be caught up with God's glory! |

This statement in your quote may be misleading. "What is meant in the context of all Scripture. Scripture is rational, it never means one thing one day and another thing another day." Actual I often find the same scripture speaking to different aspects of my life at different times. Scripture is commonly referred to as the living word, as such it must be viewed as dynamic in it's addressing different aspects of the readers life. Just a thought! |

3 | Questions to ask while Reading the Word | Neh 8:18 | sonofmom | 243215 | ||
Quite interesting concept. I believe different people may say to a pastor that the verse in the sermon touched them that day, and in unconnected scenarios. One may be touched by the Spirit in thoughts on a particular verb and another on a certain noun. But there is something called parabolic constancy that we should all be concerned with. I heard a preacher once who thought he was teaching on the parable where a man found a great treasure in a field and he gave everything to be able to go and buy the field. This pastor was telling us that he himself did the same and had also bought the field. That is when I knew I was listening to a false teacher. This was many years ago so please forgive my foggy recollection but following the parable is Jesus' explanation as to its meaning. The field, is said to be the world. Taking the law of constancy into consideration, everytime the field is spoken of, it will refer to the world. Does this sound right? |
