"INTERPRETATION MADE EASY!" The Bible Made User-Friendly "INTERPRETATION MADE EASY!"

The Importance of This Study James 1:25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

The Importance of This Study I Cor 4:6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

The Importance of This Study II Jn 9-11 9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

Interpretation Made Easy God Has Given Us A Simple Three-fold Rule For Interpreting Scripture: Direct Command (or Statement of Scripture) Approved Example Necessary Inference

James 4:11-12 11 Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

James 4:11-12 11 Do not speak against one another, brethren.

He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

In matters of biblical authority God holds all three branches of governance. Lawgiver = Legislative Judge = Judicial Able to save and to destroy = Executive

Interpretation Made Easy God Has Given Us A Simple Three-fold Rule For Interpreting Scripture: Precept Precedent Principle

A Three-Fold Rule: A Direct command That We Partake of the Lord's Supper

Luke 22:17-21 17 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes." 19 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

A Three-Fold Rule: Christ Commands That We Partake of the Lord's Supper We Have An Approved Example in Acts 20:7

Acts 20:6-7 6 We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days. 7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.

A Three-Fold Rule: Christ Commands That We Partake of the Lord's Supper An Approved Example in Acts 20:7 as to the day of the week. Necessary Inference as to the frequency in 1 Cor. 16:1-2

I Cor 16:1-2 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. 2 On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come. NASU

I Cor 16:1-2 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. KJV

If God Has Given Us This Three-fold Rule – "Where Is This Method Found in the Bible?" When Brethren Wanted God's Answer To the Question of Circumcision They Used This Three-fold Method!

Please Notice That Even Though Apostles Are Present: No New Revelation is Given Once God Has Spoken Nothing Can Be Added or Taken Away Once God Has Spoken Nothing Else Is Needed to Be Added

Acts 15:7-9 …Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; 9 and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith."

What Kind of Authority Is This? AN APPROVED EXAMPLE

Acts 15:12 All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.

What Kind of Authority Is This? AN APPROVED EXAMPLE

Acts 15:15-18 15 "With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 'AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, 17 SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,' 18 SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO.'"

What Kind of Authority Is This? DIRECT STATEMENT OF SCRIPTURE

What Method Do All Three Men Use That Day? Necessary Inference

Acts 15:19 19 "Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

Acts 15:28-29 "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: 29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell."

What Caused This Dispute? Acts 15:24 "Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls…" The Silence of the Scriptures.

The Silence of the Scriptures Says Nothing! = 0

Once God Has Spoken All Other Alternatives Are Arrogant & Sinful 1 Corinthians 4:6 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

The Importance of This Study II Jn 9-11 9 Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11 for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

Abide in the Teaching of Christ Does Not Have God

The One Who Abides in the Teaching of Christ He Has Both the Father and the Son.

Matthew 26:30 (Mark 14:26) After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Acts 16:25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; Ephesians 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Romans 15:9 "THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES,AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME." 1 Corinthians 14:15 I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also. Hebrews 2:12 "I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." James 5:13 Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

The instrument that is commanded is our hearts! Ephesians 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

The instrument that is commanded is our hearts! Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Interpretation Made Easy God Has Given Us A Simple Three-fold Rule For Interpreting Scripture: Precept – Is there a command for me to obey? Precedent – Is there an example for me to follow? Principle – Is God implying something I should notice?
