Bible Note: kalos1 Here we go with the rest! "Avoid superficial interpretation which is interpretation with lots of hate and with with little superficial Love that only scapes the surface and just below the surface as in surfing. Smile The one common problem in interpreting the Bible is this little phrase, "This verse means to me....." Let me tell you something in Love for what u believe. It does matter what it means to you as long as u also love what it does NOT mean to you, and so the question would always be to you what would it mean if you didn't love as God loves? What would it mean if you didn't love as God loves: Loves his friends the angels and loves His enemies the demons? For the demons believe that God exists and tremble because they hate who they believe in! What does it mean in Love period is the issue, not what does it mean in hate to you. "Sometimes you'll hear people get together and supposedly have a Bible study which is little more than a pooling of ignorance because it is in Love of wisdom coupled with Hate for being ignorant! Only people who love being wise and love being ignorant wiil eliminate their real ignorance: their ignorant attitude: and so admit their ignorance and so get the riches of the wisdom of God that is hidden in Love! Coloss 2:1-3. People say, "Well, I look at this verse and I feel this verse is saying this in hate of what I think it doesn't say!" It doesn't matter what you feel, what matters is your first feeling: your attitude: is Godly Love or Satanic Hate? That Love or Hate has everything to do with it. It's not a matter of how you feel about the verse, it only matters if your attitude is right! It's not a matter of what you think it means to you, it only matters if your first thot, your attitude is correct! Avoid the Adlibbing of using any mis-Hate in Bible interpretation. Avoid the free wheeling attitude of Hate in Bible interpretation. Avoid the Haphazard of Hate for any words of The Word in 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 The Love of God who dwells within us and the Spirit of the Love of God who dwells within us is the teacher who teaches us. We all want to acknowledge that. So we with Love understand that the lack of that Love which results in the presence of Hate is justification for flippancy dealing in hate with Scripture! So we remember that such were some of us, and so we who are spiritual in Love try to bear the infirmities of the weak and try to restore such ones with the spirit of Love, considering ourselves lest we are also tempted! galatians 6:1 That's why in 1 Timothy 5:17 it says, "The elders who labor hard with the Word of Love in the words of the Scripture are like Hiumpty-Dumpty, working words double with double-ease and so are worthy of double honor." It is hard work made easy with Love.Mattew 11:28-30. So avoid the superficiality of Hate in interpretation. Avoid "this means to me in hate of any other meanings." The hate in that phrase is not a statement that should preface any interpretation of Scripture. The question is, what does it mean if you don't exist with Love for the non-existent? What did it mean in Love before you were born? And what will mean in Love it after you're dead? What does it mean in Love to people who will never meet you? What does it mean in Love period, is the issue." (John MacArthur at www.gty.org/Broadcast/transcripts/90-157.htm) Looking fwd to hearing from u! Loving u as right, Loving me as wrong, giam |
