INTERPRETATION
This is the word for today. It is a simple word made complex by most men, particularly preachers and scholars. In order to know what the Bible says on a given subject you must first consult the Bible.Now, to get a correct Bible interpretation we must use correct Bible methods. The Bible is clear that the Scripture is of no private interpretation (2 peter 1:20). The Holy Ghost is the interpreter of scripture (2 peter 1:21). It is very easy to figure out how the Holy Ghost interprets a verse of Scripture. The Bible says what it means and means what is says!
There are 4 ways to mess up a Biblical interpretation:
1. Add a word.
2. Subtract a word.
3. Change a word.
4. Take a word or verse out of context.
All heresy is achieved by doing any of the 4 things. Yes, that means there are a great deal of heretics in the world. i.e Jehovah's Witness, Church of Christ, Pentecostal, Assembly of God, Lutheran,CATHOLIC, Mormon, Southern Baptist, Mennonite, most Baptist, Christian Reform, Unitarian, and the list goes on....
Now if you are in one of these "churches" that does not mean you are a heretic. You are just being deceived by one. Do you self a favor read God's Book for yourself.
