Bible Question:
hi everybody! I have this one to hear opinions (if is already discused please refer me to the branch...): without any particular verse in mind, how do you usually distinguish when a verse is to be taken literally or not? I personally rely much in the kind of literature the verse came from and the doctrine of my denomination, but I think there's no exact method. GodBlessU |
Bible Answer: checho: Rarely will you run into having to decide if a verse is to be taken literally or as a statement of that paticular culture at that time. I say rarely but thers aee some. For instance a woman should not talk in church is one of those. Women were uneducated and ignorant, not by their choice either. Today we have very educated women who often have seminary and a Doctorate of ministry. I think a good study Bible such as the NASB Study Bible or the NIV Study Bible might be a good start to understand these verses better. What do you think? justme |
