Bible Interpretation Why the confusion
Today we have so many Christian denominations, and every denomination believes something different. The crazy thing is, is that we all have the same book, the Holy Bible.
The reason for the confusion is because many are not aware of the principles of bible interpretation. These principles are very simple but are overlooked or just ignored, thus causing not only confusion but also false and even destructive doctrines. Download The Episode Here.
In times past we have seen many believers been led astray because of these false doctrines.
When it comes to discipleship there are two legs of discipleship. The first leg is The Spirit of God - being filled with and led by The Holy Spirit. The second leg is the Word of God - sound knowledge of God's Word. Walking on only one leg will cause us to stumble. We need two legs to be grounded in truth.
In 2 Timothy 2:15 Pauls says to his disciple to be diligent to present himself approved to God by rightly dividing the word of truth. In 2 Peter 3:16 Peter says that untaught and unstable people twist the word to their own destruction.
So in this episode I delve into the principles of correctly interpreting the Word of God such as who is doing the speaking. Who is the audience. What is the culture of the time. Chapters and verses. Reading the Word in context. Scripture interprets scripture.
And I also uncover some of the false doctrines that are commonly taught today to the body of Christ.
Some examples I go through in the Word.
- The culture.
(12:57)
- Chapter and verse thing. (15:42)
- Scripture must interpret scripture. (17:02)
- How is doing the speaking. (17:56)
And I also uncover some of the false doctrines that are commonly taught today to the body of Christ and as a result put people in bondage.
I as read through them the way they are taught today to God's people, and then reading them in light with these interpretation principles, you will see how easy it is to have a clear understanding of God's Word. Thus bringing freedom. You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.
Some of the false doctrines I cover are.
- Generational Curses. (19:46)
- Paul's thorn in the flesh. (25:16)
- Where 2 or 3 are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them. This has taught as a principle for prayer. (32:41)
Plus a lot more...
So grab your bible, grab a pen and something to right on and lets get into the precious Word of God.
Note. Remember to pray each other this week and also for me. There has been a lot of effort to try and stop these podcasts from being released. The enemy don't like it. WE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. I know that through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit, these podcasts will continue to bring the light of His Word.
