This document provides an introduction to basic hermeneutics, or the principles of biblical interpretation. It discusses several examples of how context, figures of speech, grammar and comparing scripture with scripture are important for properly understanding passages. God teaches believers to search, study and compare scripture to arrive at accurate interpretations and avoid errors. Without following sound hermeneutical principles, individuals can develop their own interpretations not supported by the Bible. The next lesson will address which Bible version is best to use.
An Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (Effective Bible Study)roberthatfield
While reading the Bible answers the question, "What does the Bible say?," interpreting the Bible answers the question, "What does the Bible mean by what it says?"
Presented at the North Charleston church of Christ | http://northcharlestonchurchofchrist.com
What do the Bible says about the Kingdom of God? Is it something that we will see after we died? Is it something that we can experience while we are alive?
One of the first PowerPoints that I made when teaching theology. It is crazy. It has animations, links to further slides, and terrible graphics. But it is fun share and does give an accurate view of the history of Christianity. (Although the animations and links don't work in this slideshare.)

This is a lesson in the Crossroads programme, a discipleship programme written by Dr Kevin Smith and offered by the South African Theological Seminary. This lesson is about the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Genuine Christian Faith, is to believe in everything God has said and done in His written Word: the Bible. It is to believe Jesus Christ died on the Cross of Calvary to save whomever would like to be saved. It is to trust in God all the time. It is to live according to what the Bible says: “The just shall live by faith” Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38.
Tit 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.

Working on Qualitative Research - HermeneuticsHermeneutics
Hermeneutics considers habituated practices (Schatzki) of meaning making, whether visiting shopping malls or social media. Practices can be tacitly ready-to-hand (Heidegger) or explicitly considered (presented), notably when issues arise. They may be celebrated, in enlightened moments.
This is a revision of my presentation from the August 2013 International Human Science Research Conference in Aalborg, Denmark. My objective was to convey the interrelationship of description and interpretation within phenomenological philosophy and upon Giorgi's descriptive research approach drawing upon Ricoeur's hermeneutic philosophy.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. “It was very good.”
Genesis 1:31
And God saw every thing that he had
made, and, behold, it was very good. And
the evening and the morning were the
sixth day.
What does this statement tell us about
God’s Creation?
4. Did Adam and Eve eat an “apple?”
Genesis 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was pleasant to the
eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and
gave also unto her husband with her; and he did
eat.
How do we know?
5. Jesus fed five thousand “men”
Matthew 14:21
And they that had eaten were about
five thousand men, beside women
and children.
Did Jesus feed 10,000 -- 15,000 people?
6. “As A man thinks in his heart so is he”
A proverb often used for positive thinking
BUT, is this an accurate interpretation?
Proverbs 23:7
For as [HE] thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and
drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Proverbs 23:6-7
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil
eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: (7) For as
he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink,
saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
7. It is a reference to beware of people who
flatter you; NOT positive thinking
Psalm 12:2
They speak vanity every one with
his neighbour: with flattering lips
and with a double heart do they
speak.
8. Where Two or Three Are Gathered …
Does this refer to PRAYER?
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered
together in my name, there am I in
the midst of them.
9. Matthew 18:15-20
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and
tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear
thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church:
but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an
heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for
them of my Father which is in heaven.
20 FOR where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.
10. The CONTEXT of this verse is CHURCH
DISCIPLINE
That God would be present with CHURCH
MEMBERS they sought to make matters
right and restore a fallen member.
God is as much with ONE praying
Christian as He is with MANY
11. Grammar
Matthew 18:20
FOR where two or three are gathered together
in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
We also need to consider the GRAMMAR of the
text
The conjunction FOR is joining this thought with
the previous (context) . . .
12. “Eye of a needle”
Rich people cannot be saved?!
Matthew 19:24
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God.
Here you must consider the EXPRESSIONS
of that time
13. “When pigs fly!” - It’s impossible!
A similar English expression is: “When pigs fly.”
Example: He’ll get a perfect score on his test when
pigs fly.
In the same sense, the Lord was speaking about
those who trust in their riches. Of course they
CANNOT enter heaven, because they won’t TRUST in
Christ.
Remember, the Lord was speaking to the rich young
ruler prior to that statement (context).
14. The KEY point is what the Lord said
next:
Matthew 19:25-26
25 When his disciples heard it, they were
exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be
saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
With men this is impossible; but with God all
things are possible.
NO ONE can be saved without Divine
intervention!
15. “Touch not the Lord’s anointed!”
Psalm 105:13-15 “When they went from one nation
to another, from one kingdom to another people;
(14) He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he
reproved kings for their sakes; (15) Saying, Touch
not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”
Many church leaders will use this verse to warn and
intimidate brethren not to challenge their authority.
But is that an accurate interpretation?
16. CONTEXT is everything
Psalm 105:8-12 “He hath remembered his
covenant for ever, … (10) And confirmed
the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel
for an everlasting covenant: (11) Saying,
Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance: (12) When they
were but a few men in number; yea, very
few, and strangers in it.”
17. Touch not the Lord’s anointed
This is NOT speaking about pastors, but speaks of
God’s people, Israel. The they in this passage is a
reference to the Lord’s people, the nation of
Israel.
God is warning other nations not to hurt His
people.
“Anointed” is a reference to “they,” the people of
Israel – God’s people … NOT ONE MAN
18. In the New Testament,
EVERY believer is "anointed."
2Corinthians 1:21
“Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ,
and hath anointed us, is God”
No one believer can claim any special status as
God's "untouchable anointed" over other
believers.
In the NT, ALL believers are “anointed.”
19. Believers DON’T SIN??
1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth
not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in
him: and he cannot sin, because he is born
of God.
But what about . . .
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath
concluded all under sin
20. Compare Scripture with Scripture
1John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may
have boldness in the day of judgment: because
as he [Christ] is, so are we in this world.
How IS He [Christ]?
1John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested
to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
21. gods??
Psalm 82:6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you
are children of the most High.
BUT what about . . .
Isaiah 45:5
I am the LORD, and there is none else,
there is no God beside me:
22. Scripture tells us
John 10:34-35
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your
law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word
of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken
…
This text means that the Jews were like gods
compared to those who were without the law;
They were the people of God in the Old Testament
23. BE CAREFUL:
Don’t make a doctrine on a single verse
Here is an example used by the “Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints”
Psalm 82:6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of
the most High.
• There is nowhere else in the Bible that suggests that
man is a “god.”
• But this single verse is used to support the Mormon
doctrine that man has the capacity to become a god.
24. Comparing Scripture with Scripture:
Internal evidence
There are abundant verses that demonstrate that
this is in no way true:
Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou
mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else
beside him.
1Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there
is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
2Samuel 7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God:
for there is none like thee, neither is there any God
beside thee …
Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his
redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the
last; and beside me there is no God.
25. Scripture must agree with itself
To AVOID ERRORS, Scripture must
agree with any doctrine drawn from a
single passage.
26. FALSE TEACHING:
MOST if not ALL cults deny that JESUS is GOD
You need to be able to defend your belief that JESUS is
GOD
Can you PROVE that JESUS is GOD from the Bible?
John 1:1 & 14
John 8:58 & Exodus 3:14
John 20:28
Colossians 2:9
1Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13; 1Peter 1:1
Revelation 1:17-18 & Isaiah 44:6
27. Beliefs of some CULTS
Islam: “Jesus was no more than a mortal whom
Allah favored and made an example to the
Israelites” (Sura 43:59).
Jehovah's Witnesses: Jesus, one who is an angel
who became a man
Mormons: “That Lucifer, the son of the morning,
is our elder brother and the brother of Jesus
Christ.”
28. Kenneth Copeland: “Jesus has a beginning and an
end.”
Benny Hinn: “Have you been begotten? So was He.
Don’t let anyone deceive you. Jesus was reborn.”
Iglesia Ni Cristo: “If there is any verse which people
claim proves the alleged deity of Christ, this verse
has been wrongly interpreted by the people.”
Bro. Eddie Soriano: “The Jesus and Christ of the
Bible is not God the Father.”
29. The Lord commands us to check things
out before we just embrace them
1John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but
try the spirits whether they are of
God: because many false prophets
are gone out into the world.
31. SEARCH the Scriptures
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.
32. STUDY the Scriptures
2Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
33. COMPARE Scripture with Scripture
1Corinthians 2:13
Which things also we speak, not in
the words which man's wisdom
teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost
teacheth; comparing spiritual things
with spiritual.
34. Without proper hermeneutics, everyone
can make up their own ideas about what
God says
Studying the Bible without proper
hermeneutics leads to a PERSONALIZATION
of the text's meaning that IS NOT always
appropriate nor accurate.
There may be MANY applications of Scripture,
but only ONE interpretation of Scripture
35. When we say Hermeneutics, we mean
the study of interpreting the Bible
There are many things that can affect a proper
interpretation of the Bible:
Knowledge of God (His attributes)
Bible versions
Understanding of Bible Cohesion
Context
Culture
Grammar
36. Figures of speech
Theological approach
(Covenant, Dispensational, New Covenant)
Approaches to study
(exegesis or eisegesis)
Methods of study (inductive or deductive)
Study Aids
Knowledge of the Scriptures (comparing)
Ignoring time-tested interpretations
(interpretations throughout history)
37. Our course
• This is a short course on Basic Hermeneutics
• We will discover how to interpret the Bible using
ITSELF
• We will look at various ways that can help us
understand the Bible more accurately
