BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS: How to study and interpret the Bible

1. Basic Principles

  • The Bible is a divine in origin, and because of our limited human ability to understand spiritual concepts, prayer is an absolute necessity as we study the Bible. Ask God to open your mind to understand His word (Luke 24:45).
  • The Bible is also a human book and, to a degree, must be interpreted like any book.

2. Interpret the Bible literally.

  • Literal - means that we take the words for what they mean in the normal, or plain sense. (i.e. use common sense folks)
  • Literal doesn't mean that symbolism is rejected. Certainly all biblical text has a point, or literal truth, but the words being used to describe the truth may not be meant to be taken literally (i.e. poetry).

3. Use the Grammatical-Historical method.

  • Grammatical - means we follow the grammatical rules of literature; including studying the word meanings in their original language (OT: Hebrew; NT: Greek).
  • Historical - means we seek with diligence to determine the historical background and context before rendering an interpretation. (No revisionist history)
  • Ask the right questions of the text (Jer 29:13).
  • Keep the paragraph, chapter, and book IN CONTEXT!
    • Eisegesis – Reading our own meaning into the passage due to our bias and subjectivity. (Do NOT do this)
    • Exegesis – Learn what the text itself is saying, and then draw the meaning out of the passage. (Do this)
  • Compare scripture with scripture.
    • Allow the clear passages in the Bible to interpret the less clear ones.
    • God’s word can never contradict itself. If passages appear to contradict, ask:
      • Am I keeping both passages in context?
      • Are the passages, in fact, complementary?

UNDERSTANDING GRACE—What is it all about?

What is grace?  We read, discuss, and even sing about it; but do we truly comprehend and apply it in our lives?  Hebrews 12:15 states that one can come “short of the grace of God,” and the result of “coming short” leads to a “root of bitterness” in the heart.  Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we truly understand the depth of God’s grace and learn how to implement it in our lives.

WHO AM I? …ACCORDING TO GOD 

Your behavior is motivated by what you believe.  Once you embrace your true identity in Christ by trusting what Jesus did for you and who God says you are your behavior will begin to reflect your new identity.  The following list is taken from “Living Free in Christ” by Neil Anderson.

SALVATION - What is required to have eternal life?

Why live any longer in the uncertainty of whether you will be acceptable to God when you die? The Gospel (Good News) message of Jesus Christ is simple because God LOVES you! He LONGS for you and He wants to spend eternity with you! But before you can be clean enough to enter into God's presence, you must have your sins (impure attitudes, actions and thoughts) dealt with. If you want to be "saved" from the penalty of your sins (unrighteous deeds) so that you can live forever with God, follow these five steps and pray (from your heart) the suggested prayer at the end. Remember, the words are not important. It is your heart that God is listening to:

Testimonials

loveI LOVE this site!

“I just wanted to write and tell you that your website is absolutely FANTASTIC and invaluable. Thank you so much for providing fantastic resources that true Christians can use to reach out in love to those caught in the lie of Mormonism and the Watchtower Society. I love this website.”

Your site is the best!

“Just want you to know that I love your website.  What a wealth of information …I have been looking for a website to aid in my witnessing to my Mormon and Jehovah’s Witness friends.  This is the best one I have seen by far. Please keep up the good work!!!!

jwdoorYour website is crucial in my witnessing efforts!

Your website is crucial in my witnessing efforts to Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses.  I cannot get the Mormons to come back anymore, but I had my first study with the Jehovah’s Witnesses today. ...One has been in the Society for over 50 years!!!  I was very intimidated by this. ...But the thing that really got them squirming in their seats today were the questions I got off your website regarding the use of the Divine NameIt was almost as if they had never heard questions like this before.  ...thank you so much for what you do.  God has used your talents in such a wonderful way to bring glory and honor to our King Jesus Christ.”

sharing5I appreciate the loving tone of your website...

“I need to say thank you so much to the people involved in this website! I am a Christian and have been in contact with a Jehovah's Witness for several months, and at the beginning I was very unfamiliar with Jehovah's Witness teachings. Your website has helped me tremendously. I feel much better acquainted with Jehovah's Witness teachings and able to question her on her beliefs, and point her to the Truth of Jesus in the Bible. I enjoy the thoughtful, loving tone your website has in pointing out the error of the Watchtower organization, and the error of Jehovah's Witness beliefs.”

 

research-booksThanks for providing the documentation to back up what you're saying.


“I recently became acquainted with a girl who was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, and I am a solid evangelical Christian. Despite our differences, we have become good friends ...I have had the hardest time talking to her about my concerns regarding the Watchtower because I understood so little about it. In my search for resources online, it is so refreshing to find a website that is not slanderous or based on opinion, but that simply provides the facts. Thanks for providing documentation to back up what you're saying. This is legitimate journalism and it has been incredibly useful to me.”

jwstudyI Feel So Much Better Equipped!

I just wanted to say thanks for the tremendous amount of effort it must have taken to put together this website. I am a Christian who has been visited by Jehovah’s Witnesses for about 7-8 years… I was online …when I came across your site. Having found what I was looking for, I continued on with browsing your site. There is so much useful information here! Recently, one of the young Witnesses that had previously come to my door ...came back to my door alone. … After reading many pages on your site, I feel so much better equipped to speak with her. …I hope to show her the joy that is in the freedom we have in Christ.”
