Thus, Jude refers to the faith which was -once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3), and Romans says, -"<span class="emphasis"><i>Christ also died for sins once for all</i></span>" -(Rom.6:10, see also 1 Pe.3:18; Heb.9:26-28). </p><p> -Thus we may say that God has spoken once -for all and Christ has suffered once for all. This means that the Christian -revelation and the Christian redemption are both alike in Christ complete. -Nothing can be added to either without being derogatory to Christ... These are -the two rocks on which the Protestant Reformation was built -- Gods revealed -word without the addition of human traditions and Christ's finished work without -the addition of human merits. The Reformers great watchwords were <i>sola -scriptura</i> for our authority and <i>sola gratia</i> for our salvation.</p></td><td width="10%" valign="top"> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="right" valign="top">--<span class="attribution">John R.

Rules of Bible Interpretation (Hermeneutics)</h2></div></div><p>We already learned about the "3 Cs": content, context, cross-reference. We want to expand that now by -delving briefly into biblical hermeneutics, whose goal is to discover the meaning intended by the original author (and -Author!). While many applications of a passage are valid, only one interpretation is valid. The scripture itself says -this by saying that no scripture is of any private interpretation (2 Pe.1:20 KJV <span class="emphasis"><i>"Knowing this first, that no -prophesy of scripture is of any private interpretation."</i></span>) Certain rules are helps toward discovering the correct meaning; -by ignoring these rules people have brought much trouble on themselves and their followers. 2 Pe.3:16 <span class="emphasis"><i>"...in which are -some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to -their own destruction."</i></span></p><p>How do we go about discovering the intended meaning of a passage? Let's say your attention has been -drawn to a particular verse whose meaning is not clear to you. How do you study it out? Keep these rules in mind:</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="h2-rules-exact"></a>Rule 1 - Interpret according to the exact -meaning of the words.</h2></div></div><p>The more precise we can be with the exact, original meaning of the words the better our interpretation will be. -Try to find the exact meaning of the key words by following these steps:</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="h2-rules-exact-definition"></a>Step 1) Definition</h3></div></div><p>Look up the definition in a Greek or Hebrew dictionary. For verbs, the verb tense is also -crucial.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><h3 class="title"><a name="h2-rules-exact-crossref"></a>Step 2) Cross-reference</h3></div></div><p>Compare scripture with scripture. Seeing how the same Greek or Hebrew word -(not the English word) is used in scripture may clarify or throw new light on the definition. How does the same author -use this word elsewhere? Other authors? Your reference tools may give you uses of the word in non-biblical -documents, as well. Why do we have to go to the original languages; why isn't the English word good enough? -BECAUSE MORE THAN ONE GREEK WORD MAY BE TRANSLATED INTO THE SAME ENGLISH WORD, AND THE GREEK -WORDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT SHADES OF MEANING.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="h2-rules-exact-crossref-ex1a"></a>Example 1A</h4></div></div><p>Jn.20:17 <span class="emphasis"><i>"Touch me not"</i></span> (KJV) sounds harsh, doesn't it? Sounds like Jesus doesn't want -to be touched now that He is risen, that He is too holy or something. But that doesn't seem right, so let's look -it up in Spiros Zodhiates' <span class="emphasis"><i>The Complete Word Study New Testament</i></span> (AMG Publishers, 1991).</p><p>Definition: Turning to John 20:17, above the word "Touch" we see "pim680." The letters -give us a code for the part of speech, and the number refers to Strong's dictionary reference. Let's look up -the definition (p. 879). "680. Haptomai; from hapto (681), touch. Refers to such handling of an object as to exert a modifying -influence upon it... Distinguished from pselaphao (5584), which actually only means to touch the surface of something. " Now look -up "pim." The grammar codes in Zodhiates come right after Revelation; on p. 849 we see that pim stands for -"present imperative active (80)". On p.857, "Present Imperative. In the active voice, it may indicate a command to do -something in the future which involves continuous or repeated action or, when it is negated, a command to stop doing something. " This -is a negative command, so it is to stop doing something that is already occuring. So, what have we found?</p><p><span class="emphasis"><i>MARY IS ALREADY CLINGING TO JESUS, AND HE IS SAYING TO STOP HOLDING HIM!</i></span></p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><h4 class="title"><a name="h2-rules-exact-crossref-ex1b"></a>Ex. 1B</h4></div></div><p>In James 5:14, <span class="emphasis"><i>Elders are told to pray and anoint someone who is sick</i></span>. What is this anointing?</p><p>Definition of aleipho (218) - "to oil" (Strong's); but we also have another Greek word translated -"anoint", chrio (5548) - "to smear or rub with oil, i.e. to consecrate to an office or religious service" (Strong's). - Since it's a verb, consider the tense also, "apta" aorist participle active. "The aorist participle expresses simple action, -as opposed to continuous action...When its relaitonship to the main verb is temporal, it usually signifies action prior to that of the main -verb." (Zodhiates p.851)</p><pre class="screen"> -Cross-references for aleipho: - Mt.6:17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head - Mk.16:1 [the women] brought spices that they might come and anoint Him. - Mk.6:13 And they were...anointing with oil many sick people and healing them. - Lk.7:38 ...kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume - Jn.12:3 Mary...anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair -Cross-references of chrio: - Lk.4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach..." - Acts 4:27 Jesus, whom Thou hast anointed - Acts 10:38 God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power - 2 Cor.1:21 Now He who...anointed us is God -</pre><p>So what's the difference between aleipho and chrio? Look back over the cross-references and the -definitions, and sum up the difference: ALEIPHO IS A PRACTICAL USE OF OIL AND CHRIO IS A SPIRITUAL </p><p>As an illustration (although the word is not used) of the practical use of oil at that time, when the good -Samaritan cared for the man beat up by robbers he poured oil and wine in the wound. So oil had a medicinal -use in Jesus' day. -</p><p>Now let's apply what we just learned by this word study to James 5:14 <span class="emphasis"><i>"Is any among you sick? Let -him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the -Lord."</i></span> Is "anointing" spiritual or practical? Practical!</p><p> -And the tense in Greek, the aorist participle, would -be better translated "having anointed," so the order is the anointing first, then the prayer ("in the name of the -Lord"refers to the prayer, not the anointing). James 5 is saying that the elders should give the sick person -medicine and pray for him in the name of the Lord. Doesn't that express a beautiful balance of practical and -spiritual in our God! -</p></div></div></div></div><div id="bottom-nav" style="position : relative; width : 100%; height : 185px; left : 0px; right : 0px; top : 0px; margin-top: 100px; background-image : url('help:/common/bottom1.png'); background-repeat : repeat-x; background-color : transparent; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; z-index : 25;"><img src="help:/common/bottom2.png" align="right" height="59" width="227" alt="KDE Logo"><div id="navtable2" style="width : 100%; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; z-index : 15; background-color : transparent;"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="position: absolute; top: 70px; left: 0px;"><tr><td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a href="h2-basics-worksheet.html">Prev</a></td><td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a href="h2-rules-context.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="33%" align="left">Worksheet: How to Use a Concordance </td><td width="34%" align="center"><a href="index.html">Up</a></td><td width="33%" align="right"> Rule 2 - Interpret within the biblical -context</td></tr></table></div></div></body></html>
