Bible Question (short): About the Forum and Bible Study. |
Question (full): Dear Forum Members, Just a little reveiw of some of our gracious host's guidelines in brotherly love to make this a place to be respected and used for the edification of the whole body of Christ. Quote from, About the Forum - It's like a free study Bible with an unlimited margin, that contained helpful verse notes, and was continually expanding. A resource where you can access and/or contribute to a dynamic repository of verse notes. It's not a discussion group or topical survey, but an ever growing "expository repository" that gives the layman and scholar an opportunity to share truth and contribute wisdom. Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Let's all respect using the whole counsel of scripture in order to measure what constitutes the interepretation of a passage. Quote, How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, by Gordon D. Fee, Douglas Stuart, pg.23 par.3; Exegesis is the careful, systematic study of the Scripture to disover the original, intended meaning. Quote, continued, pg.24, par.1; But one does not have to be an expert to do good exegesis. Quote, continuation, pg. 26, par. 2,3; There are two basic kinds of questions one should ask of every biblical passage: those that relate to the context and those that relate to content. Quote, continuation pg.27, par.2,5; What is the author saying, and why does he or she say it right here? Having made that point, what is he or she saying next, and why? Quote, continuation, pg.29, par.5; The reason for not beginning in the here and now is that the only proper control for hermeneutics is to be found in the original intent of the biblical text. Quote, continuation, pg.74, par.3; You will recall from chapter 1 that we set out as a basic rule the premise that a text cannot mean what it never could have meant to its author of his or her readers. Please remember we are doing Bible study in order build an expository repository of truth and wisdom. God's Day To You. |
