My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge: Hosea 4:6.

This is the official ping list for Depths of Pentecost: I’m a Christian blogger who writes weekly Bible lessons. Topics range from Bible studies, apologetics, theology, history, and occasionally current events. Every now and then I upload sermons or classes onto YouTube.

Let me know if you’d like to added to the Depths of Pentecost ping list. New posts are up every Saturday.

Thanks for the thread.

It is a danger. Even Paul was fighting deception in the church from almost its very inception.

The Council at Jerusalem addresses some of the issues that had come up in just a few short years.

Yes, atheists and those opposed to Christianity are great at what they think is the *gotcha* game.

Except they really don’t know what they are talking about.

In Job 42, God cancels the words of Eliphaz: “My wrath is kindled against Eliphaz; for he has not spoken the truth concerning Me as My servant Job has.

And, like the article says, we have people out there willing to make doctrinal statements based on what Eliphaz said, particularly in Job 22. Amazing, isn’t it? Like the essay here implies, context is everything when it comes to hermeneutics.

One of the biggest errors I see in denominations is the practice of eisegesis....reading something into the text that isn’t there to support a dogma. It leads to a lot of bad theology.

Bible Passage Tennis Volley. Theologians thrive on it.

The opposite side of the same coin is disannulling specific scriptures by finding a way to wash them away with excuses. One such excuse is interpreting them according to ones own liking by claiming that the whole of Scripture disavows them. Start out with a premise and then build a house of cards around something important to God to diminish what a Scripture says, often spiritualizing it, or by just plain using bad logic.
