Rules of Bible Interpretation
 

With many religions and sects abounding today, all using the Bible and yet claiming differing views and doctrines, we must wonder if there are any rules to interpreting the bible, and if there are, do these groups employ them?

 

Therefore, I propose that this series is vital to inform us of the rules of interpreting the Holy Bible, and to therefore: 

1: Help us avoid coming to wrong conclusions in our personal bible study.

2: Help us to discern a doctrine or conviction held by another which is based upon an inaccurate interpretation of the sacred Scriptures. 

 

A six-lesson series on the commonly accepted rules of bible interpretation.
Students can learn how to read, understand, and apply the bible with confidence.
This course comes with an assignment for each lesson that gives the student hands-on exercises.

 

 

Wow, Two complete Courses!

"Thanks for your bible studies. I have presented a few of your series to my church family and they lap it up. Attendance has increased and I see people taking notes as I am teaching. Further, your word-smith ability in the outlines means that teaching is easier, and the people retain the information. My people are growing in faith because of your bible messages. Again, thank you!"  Pastor T Matthews

Introduction

With many religions and sects abounding today, all using the Bible and yet claiming differing views and doctrines, we must wonder if there are any rules to interpreting the bible, and if there are, do these groups employ them.

Even the average bible believing Christian is prone to arrive at unorthodox opinions on passages, and thus forms beliefs and convictions that often work to ostracize brethren from each other. Schisms arise and stands are taken which if analyzed can find no sound scriptural support.

Therefore, I propose that this series is vital to inform us on the rules of interpreting the Holy Bible, and to therefore: 

1: Help us to avoid coming to wrong conclusions in our personal bible study.

2: Help us to discern a doctrine or conviction held by another which is based upon a faulty interpretation of the sacred Scriptures.

Let me just add here, that the confusions generated by false interpretations is generally because of minds coming to the Bible with pre-conceived notions or people carelessly taking verses out of context. Whichever the case, the rules of bible interpretation are bent or broken.

This six lesson study series comes complete with assignments attached to each lesson. The assignments and answers are found at the end of this course section.

Without further ado, let us begin.

Lesson One: The Literal Rule

Habakkuk 2:2. This verse tells us that the God who wrote the Bible is interested in speaking plainly to the common man on the street and to children. God makes his truths plain because he wants to communicate with you and me those things which pertain to life and godliness.

The Bible was originally written in the languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek – the Old Testament in Hebrew, the New Testament in Aramaic and Greek.

Concerning the New Testament, God made sure that it was written in the basic ‘street-language’ of the times, known as ‘Koneia’ Greek.

God is interested in preserving His Word for all generations and for all types of people from the children in your neighbourhood to the native in the jungle.

William Tyndale, a famous scholar, who lived during the Middle Ages, in a time when the ‘bible’ was chained to pulpits in cathedrals, said that he was making a new translation of the bible so that the boy ploughing behind the ox could find his way to Heaven.

Though there is a unique spiritual aspect inherent in the Bible,
