Meditations

All I would like to say to believers and anyone else dealing with scripture, is this. Do your best to exegete (read out of the text what the author intended even if you disagree with it)
the sacred text in a proper manner and with the honor and fear it deserves. The Word is the last word as the Word will at judgment, have the last word. If you have the access, study in as close an original language as possible and be careful of bent meanings through translation or perversion by man. Be as sure as you can be as to what you speak concerning what you have read, being even more careful to prayerfully discern what other men have said. All men bend what they will to strengthen a bias point, me being no exception other than, I, being one of the very few, who will admit to such. Admit to such, if for no other reason than the fear of the Lord and knowing areas whereby we are judged; one being, according to our words. In Fact, we will be judged for our words, every single idle word, Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Now the opposite of what we are commanded to do it this: eisegesis; an interpretation, especially of Scripture, that expresses the interpreter’s own ideas, bias, or the like, rather than the meaning of the text. That comes from the pride of life and calls God a liar.
