Historical-grammatical method

[P31Woman]

How can we know the literal of these verses without comparing scripture with scripture in order to understand the whole of just these ones given as a proof that they are to be silent. That's like one verse where it says, Jesus wept. We need to compare other scriptures to see why he wept. Hope you see my point here.

Yes, with this method we want to use scripture to interpet scritpure because we know God cannot contradict Himself

But He can change His mind, and does...

Genesis 6:7 NASB The Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”

Exodus 32:14 NASB So the Lord changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.



Edit: removed the first 2 verses I used because they were subjective to context.

The Lord does not change his Word Vanguard, his Word is eternal. You're not looking at the meaning behind the scripture. Look deeper! Exodus 32:14 is showing that the Lord has mercy and forgiveness for people on this earth. Is Jesus not about forgiveness, mercy and peace? Genesis 6:7 refers to hate the sin, love the sinner. The Lord was grieving because he hates sin! Genesis 6:6

I never said anything about His word. I said His mind.

Exodus 32:14 is showing that the Lord has mercy and forgiveness for people on this earth.

You're finally learning to use context!

(my entire post was an exercise on context)

Off Topic. This is a hermeneutics thread discussing the liberal historical grammatical method.

I like topics on biblical hermeneutics.;)

The historical-grammatical method is a Christian hermeneutical method that strives to discover the Biblical author's original intended meaning in the text.

The aim of the historical-grammatical method is to discover the meaning of the passage as the original author would have intended and what the original hearers would have understood. The original passage is seen as having only a single meaning or sense.

Many practice the historical-grammatical method using the inductive method, a general three-fold approach to the text: 1) observation, 2) interpretation, and 3) application. Each step builds upon the other, and so they follow in order. The first step of observation involves an examination of words, structure, structural relationships and literary forms. After observations are formed, then the second step of interpretation involves asking interpretative questions, formulating answers to those questions, integration and summarization of the passage. After the meaning is derived through interpretation, then the third step of application involves determining both the theoretical and practical significance of the text, and appropriately applying this significance to today's modern context.

Technically speaking, the grammatical-historical method of interpretation is distinct from the determination of the passage's significance in light of that interpretation. Taken together, interpretation of the passage along with determining the meaning defines the term (Biblical) hermeneutics.

Keep your own advice in mind when you dive into my threads.

Context deals with more than just reading what come in front and behind a passage. It deals with the genre of passage. Is the literature a letter, psalm, story, letter, proverb, preophey, etx.

Do you agree that I deciphered the correct context of those two readings, if you consider front, behind, genre, and any other tool you wish to use?

Using the Literal Historical grammatical method to interpet scripture we would want to understanding the historical and cultural background of a passage.

Oh, I see. You don't care for a literal interpretation of certain passages, so you will just sweep them under the rug, so they don't stare you in the face(literality is cool, but I love allegory too;)).
