Subject: Infallibility of the Bible questioned. |
Bible Note: djconklin, thank you kindly for your "Amen" to a segment of my post, but thank you all the more for your adding a much-needed clarity to my statement regarding exegesis and pointing out that eisegesis is the intended meaning. What I was hoping to convey, but now I see how fractured a job of it I did, was that I was using exegesis in an adultered sense of the real meaning of the word, i.e., of the word exegesis itself. Now I see wherein the the term "the word" could well be taken to mean the word of God -- not the intended meaning at all. A far better and clearer construction might be "What is posted as exegesis is nothing more than eisegesis." On second thought, perhaps not: Two "gesis" words in the same sentence might prove too weighty a fare for some readers to digest at one sitting! :-) At all events, dj, I appreciate and thank you for your post and am truly grateful that you brought my attention to a locution in which neither I nor my English professors of days long past can stake any real pride! Soli Deo Gloria! --Hank |
