Does Scripture interpret Scripture ?
Hi,
Wow that's a good one. I have always used all of scripture on a subject to understand a single item of scripture. I also use all of scripture to understand a single word. Yet, dear Ron, since I live scripture, no more do I quote it.
So, yes Scripture is needed to interpret Scripture. It was when I had to learn scripture.
Tim 3:16 All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness,
Yes. Also Scripture, the Old Testament to us cannot be changed, and in there, Jesus is talked about, such as in Psalms 2.
17that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work.
Yes. Isn't it intresting, that in this case with these guys, it also took some of God's other places He talks about. For instance, sceince is commanded by God in Genisis. It is the blessing of to subdue the Earth. I used science the science of the mind and of habits, with those folks. A next for instance, when I read Romans 13 1-5, God also says to use His laws, that he makes for civilians, and those people broke those laws also, in misrepresenting themselves. Also it is cocidered to be a broken law, to be verbally abusive, and they are that.
Is Scripture recorded in parables for a reason ?
Yes. The early saying of all Jesus talked about was to keep those who had enough time with God, for God to shut their minds, while Jesus was here. It is said: Unless they should come to Him and be healed. It is the plan of God then, to not let them come to Him, when Jesus was here. Rather God's plan was something else.
Interestingly enough, most Chrisitians and Christian Churches are in that same situation today, with pastors and even priests being much like most of the clergy back in the times of Jesus.
Matt 13: ....Why do You speak to them in parables?
11And He answering, said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
And, yes some of us, have great knowledge of God, given to us. We do. One thing I constantly am reminded of by God, is I am not that good, and to not mistake my work, when using Him, as me, but rather as gifts given to me, to accomplish a task. Each time I make a mistake, and start thinking I am good, God reminds me that I am not. I am not.
12For whoever possesses, to him more shall be given, and he shall have overflowingly; but whoever does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him.
This has happened much to me. I have been given excessive amounts by God, and I love and like all of it.
13Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
14And in them the prophecy of Yeshayahu is completely filled, which says, Hearing you shall hear and by no means understand, and seeing you shall see and by no means perceive,
Yes, even those two/one men did not see. They did not hear. They did not see what God is showing them in scripture, both old and new. They did not hear what they should hear there also. I am told by another, from God, that it takes a heart of a child, to see, to hear, the Words.
So then , this command by our Master would be or should be recognized as a form of parable , correct ?
I am going to have to read this again.
Matt 28:19 Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit,
" IN THE NAME ' OF ' "
Yes.
Well now , let me see ... as a matter of fact I'm a " Father " five times . I receive cards from my children addressed in some way in " FATHER " . How can " Scripture interpret Scripture" help us here ?
Not sure yet.
How about the " Name " , we all know our Elohim is The Father , in fact The " Father " of ALL but "father" is NOT a or The " Name " of our Elohim .
What does Scripture say about this ?
Ah you mean for a Father, not only does he have adopted children, but maybe He has natural children, One who is Sent, and one who is Begotten, both totally from Him with no mother, but just Him and both His natural sons, but only one is called that.
Bible Search: YAH
2See, Ěl is my deliverance, I trust and am not afraid. For Yah, יהוה, is my strength and my song; and He has become my deliverance.
" YAH or YAHU
The 'Personal' Name of the 'God of Israel' by which He anciently revealed Himself to Moses ( 6:2). 'YAH' is spelled in original Hebrew, with the 10th letter of the Hebrew alphabet - the 'yood', smallest letter in the alphabet, represented by the inverted comma ( ' ). YAHU also has the meaning of 'He is YAH"
John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.
Which I do...
24 Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.
Okay.... He is. The Holy Spirit is. Jesus once was, but is now both.
25The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, the One who is called Anointed. When that One comes, He shall announce to us all.
Okay...
26יהושע said to her, I who am speaking to you am He.
Yes.....
So then , just to many trees or to much forest ? Step over the dogma & please come on in , the water is great .
It is both dear. It is both. You said it above, much is in parables, but not to me. Also one cannot see normally, unless they have help, and Ron, I had help, both Jerome and The Holy Spirit helped me immensely. They did. But, everyone claims all spirts are the Holy one. I only say, I think He helped me, for how else do I know so much? Well there is my marriage, if I am who I say I am to, and with God The Father. So, maybe that is why.
I remember the first night after the items were confirmed in the church by a fleece test, something happened at home that night. I learned much about God from that. I learned that other than sent, The Holy Spirit is not only a part of each of them, all three, but, the purity of that in The Father, makes the feeling of The Holy Spirit, indistinguisable to me, whether it came from Jesus, The Father, or The Holy Spirit.
LOVE and love,
