A GUIDE TO INTERPRETING THE BIBLE CORRECTLY by Sam Oputa Pdf

We, as a civilization, were not the first to invent and detonate a nuclear weapon. You would not know that weapons of mass destruction—WMD—information is contained in the Old Testament texts because the evidence is not clear-cut and, therefore, not in-your-face type. The Bible interpreters usually employ unnecessary religious iconography to describe events that are simply irreligious. We fail to interpret the Bible according to the authors’ intended meaning. Today, it has become the fad to dismiss the well documented events in the Bible as mythological fairy tales. They do this to show that they are “woke.” However, they lack understanding of plain sight knowledge. We fail to see all the technologies in the Bible, so much so, many people believe the stories are make-believe, and, on the other hand, at best, people claim to believe by faith. Facts are facts and will remain factual at all times when we start interpreting based on the authors’ intended meaning. Faith is unnecessary once you get it. The question we should be asking is: Who or what was using those advanced weapons, and why? Today, we can’t even figure out how the pyramids were built and the purpose of why they were built, so how much more figuring out the stories of the Bible? Here is a work leading to the road of no more worries. Don’t let a strategy so simple as distract, deceive and yell continue to wear you down in the various places you listen to the Bible get interpreted.This work: A Guide to Interpreting the Bible Correctly, will explain all the keys you will need for interpreting the Bible easily and correctly. The scales will fall off your eyes, and the Old Testament will come alive. However, for you to understand the events in the Old Testament, you have to push the boundaries harder than what you are used to hearing and learning. You have to unlearn and relearn a lot of misunderstood information. I have also pushed the boundaries harder than I am used to, to bring you part one of this work.

A Layperson’s Guide to Biblical Interpretation by Luke Brad Bobo Pdf

Interpreting an ancient book like the Bible can be an intimidating task. Hopefully, this book will demystify or make less complicated the task of Biblical interpretation for the layperson (or seminarian) by the use of a handy and memorable acronym 'SCAR'--where S means sitting with the text to listen to the Biblical author's words over and over again; where C means the literary and cultural-historical contexts; where A means analysis; and finally, where R means God's Redemptive Remedy. Readers are treated to some accessible theory behind Biblical interpretation in Part 1 and examples in Part 2, where SCAR is applied directly to two Old Testament and two New Testament texts. God has revealed himself on the pages of Scripture. He has revealed himself because he wants to be jealously and desperately known; so, my prayer for you is that this small book along with the True Biblical Interpreter, the Holy Spirit, will greatly and patiently escort you in this endeavor so that you fall more in love with our beautiful and gracious God who knows and loves you intimately. And may your growing and maturing love for him manifest itself in your unwavering obedience to him.

Enki & Enlil: My Brother, My Enemy by Sam Oputa Pdf

In Enki & Enlil, My Brother My Enemy, we will take you on an unimaginable and profound journey into the heart of ancient settings, musings, ancient mind-set, ancient histories, and ancient practices to reveal a breathtaking, hidden reality that will transform your understanding and life forever and in many ways. The suggestions in this work will show that we are debating present and ancient matters that will help uplift you spiritually. Spirituality, in this sense, is enlightenment—nothing else. Enlightenment is perhaps one of the reasons even the Gods are at each other’s throats up to this day. Enlightenment is so highly-priced that Enlil was willing to antagonize Enki in His attempt to "civilize” mankind. Enlil was willing to become man’s opposer and even Enki’s enemy because He did not want any enlightenment for mankind. In Enki & Enlil, My Brother My Enemy, we will show that there is indeed a God. How you define that God is up to you and may change after reading this book. Though the general assumption is that God is One, there are those who have explained how such an assumption was reached and thus propagated. Enki & Enlil were no happenings of circumstances. They deliberately traveled to earth for purposes serving their interests. Anu was the leader, and the other extraterrestrials were His subjects. Earthlings acknowledge them as Gods. Today, the extraterrestrials—aliens—are simply and popularly known as God & and the angels. Indeed, Enki & Enlil so frequently appear in our daily lives through the Bible’s Old Testament. Not many people know that their lives were and are influenced by Enki alias Satan and “God” alias EL Shaddai, EL this and EL that, and all the other commandeered and assimilated names. Whatever the “offence” Enki (Satan) may have “committed” and/or was accused of, such a charge is indeed laughable today and always will be, at least if not for anything but for the scale of its inaccuracy. Today, however, like a cockroach before a jury of Chickens, Enki, too, cannot get justice, equity, and good acknowledgement among mankind mostly due to the on-going campaign of calumny. The books of the Old Testament in the Bible don’t tell lies. Whether it had been tampered with is another debate altogether. As for the New Testament, it is impossible to testify and swear to its truthfulness. If you are a student of the Old Testament, Enki & Enlil, My Brother My Enemy is a must-read if you indeed want to understand the ancient books and their writings, and the Old Testament. The writings of the Old Testament were true then and are true today. Depending on your reality, you may want to realize your own truth, but at the end of the written text is what it is—the truth. Whether Enki or Enlil, you are implored to decide who the jolly good fellow was and is. Who is the jolly good fellow? Who is the bad fellow? One of them is BAD. REALLY BAD. The other is GOOD. SO GOOD. Who then was/is mankind’s opposer? You’d be shocked, but this truth has been staring us all in the face, as the narratives of the Old Testament attest to. The crafty diversions used to deceive readers into becoming believers employed by those who put the Old Testament together have come home to roost. The so-called monotheism cannot hold up. Was the so-called monotheism, therefore, a gimmick or an attempt at impression to deceive? Finding the truth could be hard even while it is in plain sight. The truth, however, is like Mark Twain’s quote, “A lie travels around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

A Basic Guide to Biblical Interpretation by Edward Andrews Pdf

Delving into the basics of biblical interpretation, Edward D. Andrews has provided a complete hands-on guide to interpretation from a grammatical-historical perspective. He teaches how to study the Bible on a deep, scholarly level, yet making it understandable to all. He has sought to provide the very best tool for interpreting the Word of God, including clarification of technical terms, answers to every facet of biblical interpretation, and defense of the inerrancy and divine inspiration of Scripture. A BASIC GUIDE TO BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION: Understanding the Correct Methods of Interpretation is an accessible reference book for all to dig deeper into their understanding of the Bible, as well as defending their faith from modern day misguided scholarship. Andrews gives the reader easy and memorable principles and methods to follow for producing an accurate explanation that comes out of, not read into the biblical text. The principal writing procedure was to define, explain, offer examples, and give illustrations, to help the reader fully grasp the grammatical-historical approach. Finally, he has offered the next generation of Christians, a fresh new Bible reading program, which will not only help the reader know the Bible, but also be able to interpret it, explain it, defend it, and use it in their evangelism.

HOW TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE by Kieran Beville Pdf

Anybody who wants to study the Bible, either at a personal level or a more scholarly level needs to understand that there are certain principles that guide and govern the process. The technical word used to refer to the principles of biblical interpretation is hermeneutics , which is of immense importance in Biblical Studies and Theology. How to Interpret the Bible takes into consideration the cultural context, historical background and geographical location in which the text was originally set. This enables us to obtain clarity about the original author’s intended meaning. Linguistic and literary factors are analyzed so that the various genres of Scripture are examined for their true meaning. The importance of having sound principles of interpretation cannot be overstated as to ignore them will result in all manner of erroneous assumptions. Beville presents the Historical-Grammatical approach as a sound and objective method of interpretation. This, in turn, provides a foundation not only for understanding but also for teaching Scripture. The approach outlined by the author helps avoid contradiction, inconsistency, arbitrariness, and subjectivity. This work is intended for those who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the Bible. It will be particularly useful for those who want to prepare teaching material grounded in safe hermeneutics. “In, How to Interpret the Bible , Kieran Beville explores how an understanding of hermeneutics enables a deeper engagement with the Scriptures. This well-written and thoughtful introduction will be a great asset to anyone wishing to see with greater clarity the revelation of God’s heart and mind within the Bible. I warmly commend it.” (Dr. Roger Standing, Principal, Spurgeon’s College, London).
