what is God saying to us in the world of today through this Bible pericope Job 24:12 From out of the populous city men groan, and the very life of the wounded cries for help; yet God [seemingly] regards not the wrong done them. Job 24:13 These wrongdoers are of those who rebel against the light; they know not its ways nor stay in its paths. Job 24:14 The murderer rises with the light; he kills the poor and the needy, and in the night he becomes as a thief. Job 24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me, and he puts a disguise upon his face. Job 24:16 In the dark, they dig through [the penetrable walls of] houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the sunlight. Job 24:17 For midnight is morning to all of them; for they are familiar with the terrors of deep darkness. Job 24:18 [You say]--- the above, which i asked in a previous entry, may refer to pockets of problematic violence chances, uncontrollable ones at that, in Indonesia, Pakistan, Iraq, Gaza Bosnia, etc. Bush may be injecting a lethal blow in the latest initiative of his to bring it to one Piece my opinion |

Hi, mighty... The Bible never means something other than what it meant when it was first penned. As we carefully ferret out that meaning (exegesis), we can then find appropriate application to our current contexts. In Him, Doc |

hi doc, Please may i ask, how do you know God never intended eternity and infinity of meanings to stream from the initial primary context Q this is the argument by allegory parallelism exegetes and other interpreters if Jesus is the Incarnation of the Word as flesh, then the fact he use figures of speech could lead us to realize the depth of meaning of not just the OT but also the NT, in dual and higher overtones of overlapping significance of meaning for me, this is powerful as the Bible stands alone in a class of her own, it is for me THE crystal ball where language and thought come together powerfully to give foresight and foretaste of unfolding world history and Gods will my support from www-- THIS EXCERPT FROM http www.torreys.org bible nomencla.htm 4) Philo the exegete Only in one text is Philo directly referred to as --exegete-- (though more as a description than as a title), namely in the Syriac writer Barh adbsabba cArbaya, who regards him as founder of the Alexandrian school of exegesis, and the one whose example led the great Origen astray.39 Other texts, however, point towards the same aspect of his literary activity. ... |

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 |
