Bible interpretation

Listen
Fidelity to proper bible interpretation isn't an option .
You must Strive for it
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV
[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
It's funny how we go for rhema when it's convenient but reject contextual interpretation when it's not convenient .
I once had to explain this at a bible school where I taught .
I used this example
"Let the weak say I am strong "
This is the very opposite of confessing Gods word as the utterance was to call out the enemy into battle
Joel 3:10 KJV
[10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
See the pretext and post text
Joel 3:9,11 KJV
[9] Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord .
After we all saw this ,the pastors wife now asked if the Holy Spirit still can't use the verse for some thing else etc
There you go,Pentecostals and charismatics and their thing called rhema
So I asked the pastor to read 1 Corinthians 3:21
1 Corinthians 3:21 KJV
[21] Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
Since we usually use this text for ALLTHINGS ,excluding nothing ,even though the context was clear,
So since we can use Rhema ,I asked the pastor if I could claim his wife ,as all things .
He screamed blue murder !
Exactly .
It's bible interpretation of selfish and convenient interest .
A fellow once said God doesn't spare His children ,He could give up on them .
Guess his text ?
Romans 8:32 KJV
[32] He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up..
You are surprised ?
Don't be,it's his rhema !
The spirit gave him!
It goes on and on
"As a man thinketh in his heart .."for success motivation
Really ? Have you read through ?
Proverbs 23:7 KJV
[7] For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
It's about human conceit and deceit .
So much more ..
Don't ever allow any one use " rhemalization " to pull wool over your eyes .
As I always teach in class
A TEXT OF SCRIPTURE CAN NEVER MEAN WHAT IT NEVER MEANT .
Simple !
That's why no matter the cacophony of noise on trying to label some of us as been critical ,we won't be subjected to their manipulation .
Calling me critical is over 20 years old ,it's now an adult .
Find another label .
We shall insist that the scriptures mustn't be used as personal philosophy .
