"Scripture interprets Scripture

[Christina]

"Scripture interprets Scripture" approach : Through this approach, what the Spirit is trying to tell us through Scripture is unlocked by, tested by, qualified by, and balanced by, the whole of Scripture. No part of the Bible is slighted or ignored -- but no part of the Bible stands on its own, apart from the meaning of the whole and apart from other specific parts which deal with related matters. Since the Bible is the way the Spirit reaches us, the rest of the Bible is the most reliable resource for finding what the Spirit is saying in any one section of the Bible. This often forces us to accept some amount of vagueness and paradox, since both are found all over Scripture and cannot be wished away. It becomes imparative to understand there is a entire overall plan in God's word That all scripture has to be inturpeted by scripture to find the how,what,why and way it fits the overall plan as well as the subject of which it is speaking. So many spend so much time debating teachings and single ideas such as Kenites and Redemption or The Rapture you can not findanswers to these types of single ideas without having some understanding as to how or IF they fit the overall plan of God.Because God's word is so perfect each,chapter,verse word can be complete in its self,this by no means that it is to be taken to mean it also dosen't have to fit into the whole of the plan.The Bible can be much like raising a child ,to teach a child not to steal may be a complete lesson in itself, but it isnt the complete plan for raising a happy healthy child it is only a part of the whole.The bible teaches much the same way.Each lesson whether it be Repentance and salvation,Kenites,or Rapture has to evaluated against the whole to see if it stands.If no Scripture excists to interput that scripture than that Idea can not be proved (Example Rapture teachig ) And is shown to not fit with the whole of the plan.On the other hand Repentance can be proved by other scripture and also is a neccary part of the whole plan of God.
