Subject: What is your opinion of interpretation? |
Bible Note: You write regarding "other more focused commentators": "Their work is the result of the Holy Spirit talking to them." That is quite true and I agree with you. And it is normally true that, if they are the real thing, their understanding is also the result of years and years of diligently studying the Scriptures, including the original languages, as well as the geographical, cultural, and historical background of Bible times, places and peoples. I hasten to add: I fully agree with you, we must never substitute anyone's commentary for the very words of Scripture. Christian Marine, welcome aboard! I would say I'm a Christian ex-Marine, but there is no such thing as an "ex"-Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Grace to you, kalos |
