I should add I have a master's degree in teaching English as a second language So there is a fairly significant linguistic background that people like you and I have through these experiences that unfortunately the average person simply does not have access to and thus they do not have the tool sets necessary to genuinely approach linguistic material
I might also add that anyone with the Holy Spirit can be taught and they don't need a linguistic background or a degree at top institution. The best wisdom isn't of this world and I have a Masters in Education and it means zilch to God.
The King James Bible has a built-in Dictionary shown forth in the Law of First Mention. So the first time a word appears in the Bible it carries that meaning throughout the Bible. For instance, the word, "honest," first appears in the N.T. in, Luke 8:15, "But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience." So we see here in context the word, honest, is directly in association with hearing, and keeping the word of God, and should bring forth fruit. So a truly "honest" Christian will hear and keep the word of God and be a fruit bearer that is evident to all.
Drilled in the countless chambers of the brain,our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain.Awake but one and lo what myriads arise,each stamps it's image as the other flies.
you said that the mentioning of a priest beign tied with a rope to be pulled out from the holy of holies temple ,in case he died...is not in the bible...
What biblical example of exegesis can you cite regarding the 'science' (man's observations, control, control, initiative)that is not sin? What does the science and art of exegesis have to do with faith? Theurgy or white magic is yet an abomination of Satan's contrivance and his special agent the name sake of hermenuetics. Brilliant logic and reason that leads to spiritual damnation. Acts 14.
Pee who can be against me the Holy Spirit will illuminate the mind to see and accept the text, that is not limiting the work of the Holy Spirit, it is relying on Him. Diligent studies is God honoring as it is inexhaustible and saturates the individual with biblical truth.
Ken thanks appreciate some of the basic hermeneutical here that so many preachers should be aware of the simple fact The Bible is not written in English Webster's is not a resource Thusly have evangelicals been rendered utterly ignorant Amen!
