Bible Answer: tachminite I pray this will help you. Always pray asking for the Holy Spirit to illuminate the text. First get the interpretation of the passage according to what the author's intent was to his audience. Ask questions of the text based on the text. Answer the questions working to resolve any problem areas and to get more information about the interpretation of the text. Exegetics has some steps that answers a series of questions. I won't outline what the step are, but there are three basic questions that have to be answered. What does this mean? - the interpretation comes only from what the author meant to his audience or it is not a literal interpretation. Is this true and do I believe it? - how is this valid - depending on how you did the first question will determine if what you came up with is valid - does it line up with what the rest of the Bible teaches and would someone else understand what you mean, if it doesn't line up, and if they wouldn't understand it, then don't necessarily believe you have the right interpretation. What difference does this make? - how do I apply this - based on a valid interpretation of what the author meant to his audience what should be the application, and are there more than one. Hermeneutics basically answers the question - Why does this matter? 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. For every single passage in the Bible there is a valid application based on the interpretation. The Bible is always speaks to the church today. blessings abound, bowler |
