    Not listening to Calvinist lol

  5. Carl Martin says:

    Todd friel has a good series called drive by hermeneutics.

  6. Charles Baldini says:

    Read understanding and applying the Bible

  7. Andrew Westerhof says:

    One rule of thumb is to not interpret the meaning of a passage in isolation, but rather read 20 verses before and 20 verses after to establish the context. This often includes reading the previous or following chapter. Also look for other cross references from elsewhere in scripture to help establish a correct interpretation.

  8. David Barnes says:

    Michael Hobbs first of all, an understanding that the plenary does not contain any contradictions James 1:25. Then know that context is everything; sometimes the context is not immediate and can come from other books or anther covenant Romans 25:4. Also know that the scriptures were written for us to understand; apply the same hermeneutics to scripture as you do in your everyday reading.

  9. Mark Fonner says:

    You cannot learn true Hermanutics by watching Youtube videos. Smh. Pick up a book. Get involved in a good seminary and study.

  10. Jeremy Belter says:

    Michael Hobbs Just understand that two opposing teachings of same passage and doctrine cannot both be correct. That should keep.you busy for a lifetime. Also know Greek and Hebrew Fluently

  11. Billy Detzel says:

    OIA
    Observation—What does the text say.
    Interpretation—What does the text mean in it’s original context to its original audience.
    Application—How should I live in light of what I’ve learned.

    The meaning of a passage is always static. There is only one meaning for any verse of Scripture.

  12. Billy Detzel says:

    Here’s an excellent book on hermeneutics.

    Basic Bible Interpretation https://www.amazon.com/dp/0781438772/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ArvAEbG3ECJFH

  13. Deborah Susan Jurgensen says:

    Is that like a harmonica?

  14. Vic Clement says:

    Start by reading “Playing with Fire” by Walt Russell

  15. Kyle Loftis says:

    “Herman who” by Todd Friel is really good

  16. Chester Higgs says:

    why would you want to do hermenuctics?

  17. Jeremy Brown says:

    Scripture should interpret Scripture first and foremost

  18. Randall Zeke Cash says:

    Biblical hermeneutics is the study of the principles of interpretation concerning the books of the Bible. It is part of the broader field of hermeneutics, which involves the study of principles of interpretation for all forms of communication, nonverbal and verbal.

  19. Rommel Licop Valdez says:

    Is Jesus Christ being the Great Teacher used hermeneutics?

  20. Alberto F. Gonzalez says:

    Step One is being able to pronounce hermeneutics without sounding like you have a cold

  21. Frankie Torres says:

    I would say four fundamentals for proper hermeneutics: language, culture, geography and epoch.

  22. Ian Grant Spong says:

    Ask 3 questions:

    1. What did it mean then? (context, language studies, lexicon, cultural studies, doctrinal studies, historical studies)

    2. What does it mean now? (having the Holy Spirit to teach us, spirit not letter of the law, understanding the covenants, learning the difference between essentials and non-essentials, knowing basic theology, knowing the creeds, after the resurrection)

    3. How do we apply it today? (avoiding new legalism, avoiding vain traditions, wisdom, discernment, prayer, experience, lifelong study of the Bible, multitude of counsel, the cross we carry)

  23. Romualdo Venturanza says:

    Hermeneutics require theologians and scholars to instruct the believer for the proper study and interpretation. This is necessary for pastors who prepares his sermon and when the pastor is doing the counselling. Laymen can get online courses if they want to engage in arguments with the other differing teachings or religion. But we can make our own interpretations because most of the texts are clear and simple. It’s when we quote verses out of context that makes it all wrong.

  24. David Marmolejo says:

    Look up Herman who by wretched

  25. Patrick Boren says:

    Great books on the subject. Like Living by the Book, by Howard Hendricks, Understanding and applying the Bible, by Robertson McQuilkin just to name a couple.

  26. Mike Allen says:

    Hermeneutics is the way to know what scripture says. To say you dont need hermeneutics to understand scripture is like saying you dont need to know English to read english literature
