Hi, heislord12... Welcome to the forum! Our forum consists of members with broad spectrum of perspectives, including many that presuppose a dispensational hermeneutic. That is particularly typical of American evangelicals, for it was here that John Darby's teaching caught hold, having been particularly promulgated through the bible notes of Cyrus Scofield -- all this in the last 120 years or so. An older approach used in Christendom, from the earliest days of the church and by bible egetes themselves, is what is called the historical-grammatical method. It is a hermaneutic that strives to derive meaning by the author's original intent, taking into account the specific genre of a book or passage. Therefore, I would ask, is there any room in your exegesis of scripture for the kerygmatic viewpoint? That is, the exegetical approach used by Christ and the Apostles (John 5:39; Ephesians 4:8-16)? In Him, Doc |

Dear heislord12, That's a very good reminder! A number of years ago I posted a set of fundamental principles for Biblical interpretation (see ID# 156918). The "contextual rule" was number two in the list. Thank you for the reminder. In Him, Doc |
