Theology On Fire – Can’t do this subject justice, BUT I can spark hunger.<br> <br><br> <br> <br> <br> The Bible is the foundation of theology [the study of God].<br> <br> <br> Systematic Theology is working systematically through it.<br> <br> <br> 1. God’s decrees and commands: “Let there be…”<br> <br><br> <br> When He speaks it is true: the plumb line, the gauge, the standard for truth.<br> <br><br> <br> <br> <br> TRUTH DOESN’T TOLERATE OPPOSING VIEWS.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 2. Jesus is the Word of God: On screen John 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.<br> <br> <br> 3. God speaks through flawed vessels: 2 Peter 1:21, “for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”<br> <br><br> <br> The closer you draw to God – the more you resemble His character and nature, and are filled with His Spirit, the more you will speak His truth.<br> <br><br> <br> KEY: When God speaks, all avenues speak with the same voice.<br> <br> <br> Be Beareans – another reason we have it written out.<br> <br> <br> Top 7 RULES OF HERMENEUTICS<br> – <a href="http://www.apologeticsindex.org/5846-biblical-interpretation-rules" target="_blank">http://www.apologeticsindex.org/5846-biblical-interpretation-rules</a><br> <br><br> <br> <br> <br> The rule of DEFINITION:<br> <br> <br> The rule of USAGE: O.T. written to the Jews<br> <br> <br> The rule of CONTEXT:<br> <br> <br> The rule of HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:<br> <br> <br> The rule of LOGIC:<br> <br> <br> The rule of PRECEDENT: We must not violate the known usage of a word.<br> <br> <br> The rule of UNITY:<br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br> *We communicate the same way.<br> <br> <br> Would GOD know how to preserve His Word?<br> <br> <br> TEST it – scientifically, prophetically, archaeologically, and historically.<br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br> The Majority text / Textus receptus Vs.
