1 | Do u know what this means? Matthew 12:7 | Ex 23:22 | kalos | 46632 | ||
This verse means to me.... Flippancy dealing with Scripture. (Giam: The tone of the following may sound a bit harsh. However, I have no wish to hurt you or to be harsh with you. I merely quote someone else. My desire for you is that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. -- kalos) "Avoid superficial interpretation...avoid superficial interpretation. One of the common problems in interpreting the Bible is this little phrase, "This verse means to me...." so forth and so forth and so forth. Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter what it means to you, the question is what would it mean if you didn't live? What would it mean if you didn't exist? What does it mean period is the issue, not what does it mean to you. "Sometimes you'll hear people get together and supposedly have a Bible study which is little more than a pooling of ignorance. People say, "Well, I look at this verse and I feel this verse is saying..." It doesn't matter what you feel. That has nothing to do with it. It's not a matter of how you feel about the verse, it's not a matter of what you think it means to you. Avoid adlibbing in Bible interpretation. Avoid free wheeling in Bible interpretation. Haphazard handling of God's Word. "We all want to acknowledge the priesthood of the believer...yes, we all want to acknowledge that we have anointing from God, the Spirit of God who dwells within us and the Spirit of God who dwells within us is the teacher who teaches us. We all want to acknowledge that. But that is not justification for flippancy dealing with Scripture. That's why in 1 Timothy 5:17 it says, "The elders who work hard in the Scripture are worthy of double honor." It is hard work. Avoid superficial interpretation. Avoid "this means to me." That is not a statement that should preface any interpretation of Scripture. The question is, what does it mean if you don't exist? What did it mean before you were born? And what will mean it after you're dead? What does it mean to people who will never meet you? What does it mean period, is the issue."

Kalos! Thanks for your interest in helping me! First of all, I love harsh people because i love myself as harsh! That Love for me as harsh means that whenenver i am harsh I am harsh in love! The love smoothes the edges of my harshness! And so when u think i am harsh, even when I am not, I wd in Love accept your appraisal because i understand that I cd look so! So if the sound in your your tone was harsh, it is being taken in Love by me! Now if the tone wa harsh to u, the only problem wd be if u hated being harsh! For then the tone of any words that may sound harsh to u wd be harsh in hate instead of harsh in Love! See? Now: I normally in Love do NOT write: Thsi verse means to me! I normally write in Love what it means! But I did that because I in Love did not want to come over as authoritative or setting myself up as if my meaning was the only meaning! See? But if u want me to speak with authority, let me accommodtae u in love! This verse means: Flippancy is dealing with Scripture in hate of all the other meanings except the one u think it means! (Kalos: The tone of the following may sound a bit harsh but it is all in Love like how God is forward or rude in Love with those who are rude in Hate of being rude and so end up in hate whenever they are rude! Psalms 18:25-26. I have no wish to hurt you with hate or to be harsh with you in hate. But if I hurt, I hurt with love: for Love has in itself and so wd supply the healing for any hurt! I merely quote someone else in Love. My desire for you is that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul of Love prospers. giam) t b continued: Grace in Love to you, Kalos, giam |
