Bible Question: Jeremiah 29:11 - Can we apply this very positive message from God to the Jews in exile to Christians today? Is this acceptable hermeneutics? |
Bible Answer: Check this out, Romans 15:4 For what was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. Can we take scripture out of context? Most assuredly so. But when we apply a few basic principles when we are in the bible the odds of taking something out of context go way down. Scripure is addressed to us or it's for our learning. Jerimiah 29:11-13 it's a jem. Check out Acts 17:26-28. Gods has a plan for every last one of us.It's mans choice to follow that plan or not.
