Bible Note: I must have misunderstood your last posting... so help me clarify, because I read there that you think it is more confusing to read something in its context, than to merely lift it. This gives you the idea that God spoke directly to you? What if someone else sees the opposite thing from what you did? But an even larger question is, under what terms are you listening to God if you don't do the work of understanding what the author intended his readers to understand from it? We all do make interpretive decisions when we read something -- or else it isn't an information/revelation gathering event. So you must assign a context (this means, a meaning) to it if you don't go to the work to get at what the author intended to mean to his immediate audience. By the way would you be interested in punctuating (commas, etc.) and using capitals? It would help me to follow you thought. Or at least use two spaces after each period, thanks. |
