No! I let the scriptures of God's Word interpret themselves applying context line upon line here a little there a little. A correct understanding though of God's Word, does not come by the ways of the world or by using the correct study methods alone. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God and it was the worldly wise of God's people ISRAEL that put JESUS on the cross and crucified him. We can only know Gods Word as we seek him for an understanding of it and believe and follow his Word and claim his promises *John 14:26; John 16:13; John 17:17; John 7:17; John 8:31-36; Hebrews 8:11. There is a test in God's Word to know if someone is from God or not according to the scriptures. Do you know what it is?
No, words do not interpret themselves. People read them and interpret them as they read them.
If words interpreted themselves then everyone would agree what the words mean. Do you use logic at all?
ALL Christians think they have a correct understanding but that is impossible because their understandings are different..
Other Christians also say "We can only know Gods Word as we seek him for an understanding of it and believe and follow his Word and claim his promises" but they have DIFFERENT interpretations of the SAME words.
If there is a test in the scriptures, to know if someone is from God or not you would be interpreting it to mean what you believe it means.
You really do not understand what I mean, do you?
