Hi, Jashar... I posted a series a while back on sound exegesis of Scripture (see thread #156916). I asked this same sort of question. Why is proper interpretation not simple? I posited the following reasons: 1. Literary Limitations: Absolute precision is impossible due to the fact that there are gaps between the writer and the reader 2. Spiritual Perceptibility: Sometimes interpretation is an intellectual matter, but it is often a matter of spiritual maturity 3. Profundity of Truth: Truth is not simple, shallow, or trite; it is deep and rich 4. Natural Resistance: Men are not born desiring truth; the flesh resists the truth 5. Problem of Pop Culture: The world tries to make the Bible more palatable So to answer your question in a nutshell: diligent study, prayer, application, and discussion. In Him, Doc |

Hi Jashar, I’m sure glad to see this portion in your post, “we have to arrive at a conclusion based on our knowledge of Scripture at the time.” Is the “truth” of God’s Word determined by our lack, as it were, of the accumulated knowledge of the Bible? I’ve been a believer of Jesus for close to 65 years now and a believer in Jesus for over 42 years. I think I’m growing at a faster rate now then when I was first saved due to the knowledge of Bible doctrine and the building of Scripture upon Scripture to arrive at truth. Many of my views have changed over the years with regards to certain doctrines. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. The sum of God’s word doesn’t mean “some of God’s word” but “all”, and that being the accumulation of “all” the verses that pertain to a specific doctrine not just pet passages that we like for the purpose of backing up our misunderstandings. Have fun and have great day, CDBJ |
