BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION
Welcome to our Christianity Oasis Christian Walk Bible study program. This is a much debated topic though it is quite a thought provoking and extremely intriguing Biblical Interpretations study taking an in depth look into the varying unique Perspectives on Bible Scripture Interpretation. The absolutely awesome message within the Unique perspectives on Scripture Interpretation study will truly enhance your YOU-nique Christian walk path.
Where did you learn about God, that which is in the Bible and that which
pertains to the Christian walk? In other words ... Where did your Faith begin? What was the original source? Was it family, friends, Church or one day you just picked a Bible and said whoaaaaaaaaa check this out and that is how it began.
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES QUEST
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION ADVENTURE
Once in a while I
will hear or read of someone who says (for whatever reason
or gain) that one should never attempt to learn the Word of
God from a man or woman or any documentation written by
anyone, but that one should learn from reading the Bible
ONLY and not even partake of anyone else's conversation or
works on matters of Christianity.
Wow ...
That
brings forth a question to mind and heart ...
Have you ever
learned anything that you found to be BIBLICAL TRUTH from any
other source, other than the Bible?
You know, a book,
movie or a fellow Christian ...
Another question
...
How many times in
your Christian walk have you assumed that you understood a
Scripture that you had read and then later, because of what
someone shared by word or book or whatever, you LOOKED
BACK AT THE BIBLE to confirm what you read or heard and
found out your interpretation was incorrect?
THE QUESTION
SEEMS TO BE ...
Can fellow
Christians sharing Scripture be another source of learning
God's Word if we confirm with the Bible?
Can we learn from
other Christians if we allow Scripture to confirm another
sources Bible
Scripture
interpretation?
Did not men
inspired by God write the Books of the Bible and do we not
learn from them?
|
2
Peter 1:20-21
Knowing this first, that
no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. |
Do you believe
that the Bible was written by men inspired by God for US
even today?
|
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God:
but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to
OUR CHILDREN FOR EVER,
that we may do all the words of this law. |
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES PATH
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION CONCERNSAnd
is Scripture not to be used to reach and teach other
Christians who may be babes in Christ?
|
2
Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by INSPIRATION OF GOD, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness: |
I mean do you
believe these Spirit inspired men of God KNEW Christians
would be reading what they wrote in the Bible AND SHARING IT?
|
Romans 15:4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were WRITTEN
FOR OUR LEARNING, that we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope. |
A no brainer huh?
Of course the Bible is written for us by men who were inspired by
God and tho many books and epistles were written to
a specific audience,
group or Church they must have hoped, if not known, that it
would be shared and be spread about the lands.
But, are men and
women of today supposed to be sharing God's Word by way of
studies and books and/or by Word of mouth, pen or keyboard
in fellowship?
OR
When asked of the
Scriptures, should they
just point to a Bible and say ...
READ IT YOURSELF
What if the
person is unable to discern the Scriptures, as many have not
been and are not able to? What if they lack Bible Scripture interpretation skills?
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES WARNING
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION BLESSINGSYou know ...
People that we read of in the Bible like these ...
|
2
Peter 3:16
As also in all his (Paul’s) epistles, speaking in them of
these things; in which are some things hard to be
understood, which
they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also
the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
|
Peter
is saying
that some folks wrestled with understanding Paul’s words,
just as they do the Scriptures ...
UNTO THEIR OWN
DESTRUCTION.
Cuz they have not
the
Bible Scripture interpretation gift.
Now some may say
...
Well those are
some unlearned or slow minded rascals. Most Christians
should be able to easily discern the Bible just by reading
it. Nobody needs an interpreter or some study, book or word
of mouth ...
JUST READ THE
BIBLE MORE.
Uh huh ...
What about the
Sadducees ... The Sadducees (Wanna be Religious leaders of the
time) trying to trick Jesus, asked him a question and Jesus
responded ...
|
Matthew 22:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures,
nor the power of God. |
So, the Religious Leaders, who read the
Scriptures often, did not understand the written Word of
God from the Old Testament.
THEY WERE BLINDED AS MANY ARE.
|
2 Corinthians 3:14-15
But their minds were blinded:
for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading
of the old testament; which vail is done away in
Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read,
the vail is upon their heart. |
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS AND UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES VARY
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION TODAYOhhhhhhh, But
wait ...
Maybe only men
and women who follow Jesus will automatically understand the
WORD of God by reading it alone, huh?
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...
You mean like the Apostles of Jesus?
|
John
20:9
ForAS YET
they knew not the scripture,
that He must rise again from the dead. |
Not only did
Scriptures they read often
(which they did not interpret correctly) reveal what would happen to Jesus (as we now know)
But, Jesus told these fellas many times that He would rise
from the Dead and they just could not COMPREHEND the WORD of
God.
WHY ...
Perhaps this is the reason ...
|
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God:
but
those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our
children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law. |
Perhaps they were blinded for a time as
we read of earlier of the Jewish leaders.
|
2 Corinthians 3:14-15
But their minds were blinded:
for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading
of the old testament; which vail is done away in
Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read,
the vail is upon their heart. |
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS & UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES ISSUE
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION PROBLEMBut, WHY?
It could be that if they had understood the
various prophecies ... They would have made different
choices which would have affected prophecy as they too were
to be used as tools to bring forth Prophecy.
The BEST example of this would be
Judas Iscariot.
Many would say IF he had interpreted the scriptures
correctly, he would
not have accepted the 30 pieces of silver since the
Scriptures which he probably read often, possessed this prophecy
within:
|
Zechariah 11:12-13
And I said unto them, If ye think good,
give me my price;
and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price
thirty pieces of silver.
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter:
a goodly price that I was prised at of them.
And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast
them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
|
But ... To those with the
Bible Scripture interpretation gift ...
We know ... It was PROPHECY that
Jesus
would be traded up for thirty pieces of silver.
So, He made a choice, which was to soon fulfill God's
Prophecy ...
|
Matthew 26:14-16
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief priests, And said unto them, What
will ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you?
And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of
silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to
betray Him. |
Tho Judas figured it out a bit later:
|
Matthew 27:3
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that
he was condemned, repented himself, and brought
again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders
... |
And Prophecy, was fulfilled:
|
Matthew 27:9
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy
the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces
of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom
they of the children of Israel did value ...
|
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS & UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES DIFFER
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION TEACHINGNow, to avoid CON-fusion and to understand
the depths of Scriptures one needs
Bible Scripture
interpretation gift ...
I wanna look at two Scriptures shared in
this study, together ...
|
2
Peter 1:20-21
Knowing this first, that
no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. |
|
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God:
but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to
OUR CHILDREN FOR EVER,
that we may do all the words of this law. |
In the above two scriptures, one says NO
PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION
and the other one says SECRET THINGS BELONG TO THE LORD, BUT
THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE REVEALED BELONG TO US AND TO OUR
CHILDREN FOREVER.
Is this a contradiction?
NO ...
Prophecy was shared for various people at
various events because the events of said Prophecies were at
various time periods ...
Some Prophecy was created for children of later generations to understand as to establish faith through Prophecy.
LIKE US TODAY ...
We are quite privileged having the
fulfilled prophecy available to us giving us
Bible Scripture
interpretation understanding.
So, that we could read of (Or learn from
others who have been on the Christian walk longer) these
prophecies AFTER they
came to pass, we say ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
I GET IT !!!
For our God ... Uses Prophecy to confirm
He is REAL.
|
Isaiah 46:9-10
Remember the former
things of old: for I am
God, and there is none
else; I am God, and
there is none like me,
declaring the end from
the beginning,
and from ancient times
the things that are not
yet done, saying, My
counsel shall stand, and
I will do all my
pleasure ... |
And He reveals
what shall come to pass through His
Prophets:
|
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord
GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto
His servants the Prophets. |
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS & UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES WOE
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION IS EASYIt is up to us to
interpret the Prophecy IF it is our
time to know it.
But not for those who cannot interpret it
from Scriptures ...
UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES SKILL
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION GIFT
Why do you
believe there are so many differing interpretations of God’s
Word?
In
most cases
it is not due to prejudice or pride, but rather many simply
misunderstand it or do not GET it.
That is why God
called men and women of God to share the Gospel of TRUTH and
His Word and to REASON with them what the true
Interpretation of the Scriptures are
|
Acts
17:2
And Paul, as
his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days
reasoned with them out of the scriptures ... |
Just as
an older brother or sister in a family teaches their younger
sibling things ...
Those who
are older in the Faith have the same responsibility and
privilege.
And
of course we are all to CONFIRM with Scripture EVERYTHING we
hear or read.
|
Acts
17:11
These were more
noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the
Word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were
so.
|
Not only
should we read the Bible to confirm, but we should choose to
read the Word of God often to establish HOPE ...
|
Romans 15:4
... That we through patience and comfort of the
scriptures might have hope.
|
In
patience we learn of the Scriptures and in doing so, it
brings comfort.
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS & UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES GALORE
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION - NO SET IDEASSo, we MUST
choose to read the Bible often to grow in the Scriptures
Let us look at
the two 3:16 passages again in context ... (2 Timothy 3:16 and
2 Peter 3:16)
This should make em easy for you to remember
cuz of John 3:16 ...
|
2
Timothy 3:14-16
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and
hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned
them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness ... |
|
2 Peter 3:16-18
As also in all his (Paul’s) epistles, speaking in
them of these things; in which are some things hard
to be understood, which they that are unlearned and
unstable wrest, as they do also the other
scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye
therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things
before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the
error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. |
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATIONS & UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES SUMMARY
BIBLE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETATION CONCLUSIONGod still uses vessels to share prophecy, warnings and His Love to and for others.
I do not mean just messages from the Bible, but something which God has to say THAT day or even TODAY.
GOD CAN AND STILL DOES INSPIRE MANY CHRISTIANS
WHO HAVE WRITTEN MANY OF THE MILLIONS OF CHRISTIAN BOOKS OUT THERE?
Just READ and HEAR some of the books and studies out there and you will KNOW it is of God. It is a message from God to US ...
Here is WISDOM:
The Bible IS the Word of God and you should study the Bible and any and all righteous Christian studies and books you can get your hands on often ...
HOWEVER, the Bible is NOT the LAST Word of God to His children.
He is not limited to sharing His messages in one book.
He is not to be silenced for thousands of years after that book was written.
He has LOTS more to say and does through those who serve Him in MANY ways from artwork to writings to communing with one another.
NEVER allow ANYONE to keep you from answering your calling with fear or doubt.
Not even YOU.
