The Messiah IS YHWH ---> Proven
#30
TWO APPROACHES IN UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURE

FIRST: One goes to the Writings with an open, unbiased attitude, free of denominational slants or teachings, or previous impressions. This is called Exegesis (direct analysis or interpretation of Scripture). Allowing the Word to directly speak to form a solid foundation through personal study. Listening to other men teach us what Scripture says is fine also, as long as we test everything we hear, being careful how we listen, as the assembly at Berea did (see: Acts 17:10,11).

SECOND: (the wrong approach) -- One goes to the Writings to prove something they already believe, finding sentences which hint at the idea. This is called Eisegesis (analyzing from one' own preconceived ideas). In these cases the text is not directly describing or teaching the concept they are trying to prove, but rather the words are extracted and hunted-down, to "prove" what they believe. This is how men "twist" or "spin" the Words of Scripture, especially the letters of Shawul [Saul ] (a.k.a. - Powlos [ Paul ]): ". . . as also our beloved brother Powlos wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable TWIST (spin) to their own destruction, as they do also the other Scriptures. You, then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch; lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the delusion of the lawless." - {2 Kafe [Peter] 3:15-17}
