Biblical hermeneutics is the branch of knowledge

Biblical hermeneutics is the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation of a subject without bias. It is related to exegesis that deals with how to effectively explain the interpretation.

Hermeneutics aims to establish valid methods found in the Bible to discover the meaning of a subject matter. Some common methods include but are not limited to:

  • One method is “Line upon line, precept upon precept”. Because one cannot rely on one scripture to make a correct interpretation (2 Corinthians 13:1).

Therefore, one must find several scriptures on the same subject. And allow the clear scriptures to help one comprehend the unclear scriptures for correct interpretation (Isaiah 28:10; Luke 24:27 & John 5:39).

  • Another method is a literal approach of the scriptures. When one believes as the scriptures hath said (John 5:39, 7:38 & 1 Timothy 3:16).
  • Another method is a historical approach when one learns from the past (Romans 15:4).

In addition, Biblical hermeneutics deals with precepts or rules found in the Bible to help guide ones thinking in a subject matter such as:

  • One precept is that a Biblical name must be stated in the Bible as a name by a person of authority like a prophet (Psalms 147:19; Psalms 78:5; Gen 31:11, 13, 28:16-17, 19-22).
  • Another precept is when it is written in the Bible something is forever it can not be done away with. For example, the Sabbath is forever and it is identified by the number (7) (Ex 20:1, 8, 10 & Ex 31:15-17).

Also, Mashiycha (Christ) did not do away with the prophets or the law (Mathew 5:17-18). Because some things in the law are forever.

For example, the keeping of Passover that occurs on of the 14th day of the first month every year. And Mashiycha (Christ) who is our passover and perfect example (1 Cor 5:6 & 1 Peters 2:21). Sat down with the twelve apostles and ate the passover lamb with his disciples. Then commanded his followers, “do this in remembrance of me” (Exodus 12:1-3, 6, 8, 14 & Luke 22:1, 7-8, 14-20).

  • Another precept is that ’el (God) will only use the name of Yisra’el (Israel) to gather his people from the four corners of earth when he returns. Because this name will remain forever (Isaiah 43:1, 6-7, 10; Romans 11:1, 26; Isaiah 66:20, 22).

This is why he allowed the Gentiles to be adopted into the commonwealth of Yisra’el (Israel). That they will no longer be without Mashiycha (Christ) and ’el (God). And strangers of the covenants of promise, having no hope in the world (Ephesians 2:12-13, 19).

And after all this is completed ’el (God) will add a new name for his people (Isaiah 62:6).
