Works of Law vs Works of Faith Proper use of words will help us understand the Word of God. How do we do that? Hermeneutics says that if there is a misunderstanding of a word, then search the scriptures for answers. Salvation is received and maintained by being obedient to God's word. So as we...

hi daq, Welcome to our forum. You speak of: Revelation 17:4-5 KJV 4. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations (GSN#946 bdelugma) and filthiness of her fornication: 5. And...

Hermeneutics rule is that when a scripture speaks on a subject search other bible scriptures to help explain it. The Old Testament and the Gospels are directed to the Jews. In the case of the Book of Revelation, though it was written to the seven churches of Asia it speaks about Daniel's...

Hi Jeremiah, Symbolic in the natural, but not in the spiritual. God has set up the rules, we are to obey them. The Jews offered sacrifices of animals, that was symbolic, but they did it. Has man come to the point that we now tell God how we are to be saved?

Hi Arnie, Good to hear from you again. First rule of hermenecutics, the Old Testament was written to the Jews. The gospels was about Jesus that came to wed his beloved, Jews. They were invited to the wedding, but they did not come. Jer 16:9 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of...

Hi Arnie, Hermeneutics has really opened my eyes. Never could really understand what the prophecy teachers taught before learning how to understand the bible. Like I pointed out in earlier post, we have to read the scripture as if they were written to them that it was being addressed to. Also...

It is a cereomial ablution that is commanded to be done by God, as Peter verified from the very first time he spoke after receiving the Holy Ghost. Do we think that the offering that the Jews presented to God is what moved their sins for a year. No, it was the only way God would honor his...

The mystery of prophecy is only a mystery to those who have not studied hermeneutics (the study of the theory and practice of interpretation). One only needs to know a few of the correct ways to study God's word in order to understand. 1. The Old Testament was written to the Jews. There is a...

Hi Alan, The bible is all we have to go by. It is not for me to decide the importance but to be obedient to the Word. There are examples of people being baptized first and others receiving the Holy Ghost first, but each time they were instructed to acquire the one they had not received...

Guy, First statement is correct, the scroll was to be opened during the endtime. Second - Daniels prophecy began in 454 BC and Messiah would be cut off in 33 AD. That would be Jesus at the time of his cruxification. This leaves 7 years of tribulation that was unfinished and would enclude the...

Hi Shy, When one first comes to the Lord they are very interested in how they can please the Lord. This is natural and also helps you learn about God. We don't need to go into detail but there is a difference in 'gift' (singular) and 'gifts' (plural). Gift - Gift of God is eternal life. Rom...

Hi again, If one doesn't believe it is necessary to be baptized in water, then they shouldn't do it, however you are missing a few scriptures. Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of...

Hi horsecamp, you say: i suggest you read all the baptismal verses and see what God wants to give you in baptism .. Shall we start here: One might say it is symbolic but Jesus said it was a part of being born again: Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be...

When you state it was written to us, can you quote the scripture that says something like, 'to the churches of the future' or somthing else that is very clear? It was written 'for us', that part is true.

1. Bible prophecy has been solved. The question should be, does one believe it? 2, The solution came mainly from Jesus when he said he had come to fulfill all that had been written. 3. No, the majority of Christians today do not believe much of the prophecy. Why is this? Maybe because one...

Hi Guy, Part of understanding God's word is to know to whom Jesus was speaking. Luk 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, Luk 21:6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone...

Future events that were spoken of by the prophets of the bible must come to pass. Jer 28:9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. Jesus spoke many times about judgement coming...

In order to understand the bible it is: Important to look to whom the book or epistle is written to. Then what is the timeline. The book of Galatians was written to: Gal 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: That would be the Galatians that were alive while...

Using hermeneutics to understand the bible, think spiritual. Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Every once in awhile one comes across a scripture that just jumps out and asks, what does this mean? The following is one of them. 1Jn 5:8...

Study of God's word so that we know truth. 1. Understand from the start that the Old Testament was written to the Jews and it is for our understanding of God. A. Look up definitions of words. In the case above it is the words to and for. to -(used for expressing direction or motion or...
