That being said though doesn't mean that anything goes. We need to go to God's word and use that as our compass. And with that as the post suggests I think we need to base ourselves in the word, taking into account historical interpretations for what they're worth.<BR/><BR/>The form might change, but the content must stay the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13996416.post-1143977825829267222006-04-02T07:37:00.000-04:002006-04-02T07:37:00.000-04:00Yes - 'Hermeneutics' hitting the wall of 'exegesis...Yes - 'Hermeneutics' hitting the wall of 'exegesis'. Selah... <BR/><BR/>I would encourgage anyone who is a passionate believer to read Fee and Stuart's 'How to Read the Bible for All it's worth'. It is truly a gift to the the body of Christ.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that P*Mike has a loaner in his stash of hardcopy. For the keener, in Christ, buy a copy - less than twenty can-uck bucks.<BR/><BR/>My experience - I love scripture and value it's very breath into my life. Many things within have meaning for me today. Some have no personal value other than it is nice to know i.e. Old Testament accounts. I believe that a great divisive struggle within the body is that they profess New Testament theology but remain bound in slavery in Egypt (Old Testament-ism). Or they are somewhere in between with compromised with a mix of 'bull'-oney (wilderness).<BR/><BR/>We are under a new covenant. Jesus said it to be so. Jesus promised us His Holy Spirit. He is our life. He is our teacher. We fail to take belief that he is a rewarder of those who seek Him. I will be even bolder here...this is different than seeking a primary relationship with a book (Bible/binding law) or gazing lovingly at insightful Church Father's interpretations. <BR/><BR/>Fall in love with Immanuel not the 'manual'. He will do the work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
