Bible Note: Face Value - "Obvious figures of speech" 'In my opinion there is only one legitimate hermeneutic we can use if we seek to know the truth of God's Word. The text must be understood at face value, in its most natural, normal, customary sense, MAKING ALLOWANCES FOR OBVIOUS FIGURES OF SPEECH, its context, and all the other passages of Scripture dealing with the same issue. When in doubt, let Scripture interpret Scripture! ... [When we have done that] then we have truth, but not before. And once we have truth, that truth stands in judgment of us; never do we dare stand in judgment of it!' ____________________ "The RAPTURE QUESTION Answered: Plain and Simple" by Robert Van Kampen, Fleming H.
