Interpretation
A. Only one meaning for each textual passage
• Application vs. meaning
B. Three basic steps
• 1. “What do I know about the context?”
• 2 “What is God’s word to those people?”
• 3. “Now, what is God saying to me?”
C. If we jump to the third step, we can make some big mistakes.
Context
It isn’t just the cults that pull things out of context.
• It is almost inevitable
For example:
• Difficult passages in Hebrews
Sometimes you even have to look in previous chapters and such for remote context.
