Good morning,
Some thoughts as I wrestle with some things...if we are off on our navigation when we leave the harbor, we will be far off from our destination.
I am sure we mean well, but to replace Biblical epistemology and hermeneutics with a system that anyone can learn, including those without the Holy Spirit, to essentially throw out 1 Corinthians Chapter 2 and what Jesus says about the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room, is to invite confusion...and I see a lot of confusion...I see humanism today in places where I would not have thought possible. This is not to say that we don't do other spade work...as we are able, as we are gifted...but it does mean that we have no warrant to depart from the foundation of Scripture.
John 5:39; 6:33.
We are not immune from the errors of the Pharisees. Yes?
I think perhaps one day we will be in the place of Alec Guinness in Bridge Over the River Kwai, when after willingly serving as a slave to the Japanese (and inducing others to do so), he says something like, "My God, what have I done?"
Much love,
Bob
Biblical Hermeneutics
Look for Christ Jesus in the passage. How do I see Him?
How do I see the Body of Christ in the passage?
How do I see the Whole Christ (Augustine)?
How do I see Christ in His Body?
How do I see Christ in me, and myself in Christ?
How am I called to obediently respond to this passage?
How are we, as the Body of Christ, called to obediently respond to this passage?
Christ Jesus is our hermeneutic, our epistemology, our message.
“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2).
“In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3).
“Its lamp is the Lamb” (Rev. 21:23).
