But what happens when what the Bible clearly says-as understood for centuries by learned believers and scholars alike-is rejected? Those who reject its teachings try to change the Word. Two Greek words can help explain this: eisegesis and exegesis. Eisegesis is the process of reading into a passage something that is not there-inserting a meaning that flows from a personal agenda. By contrast, exegesis means drawing from the passage the clearly intended meaning, using context, other Scripture passages on the same topic, and legitimate tools of understanding such as Bible commentaries. Instead of trying to change God's Word to fit our own ideas, let's allow the Word to change us. As we read His Word and obey it, the Holy Spirit will transform us into the kind of people God wants us to be. Don't change the Word-let it change you. -Dave Branon
His will He has made known; Let man not try to change that Word With words that are his own. -D. De Haan The Bible-eternal truth and never-fading beauty.

Thanks for the ping, Billie!!!
'Puter woes - still. I'm about ready to re-format. Ran scandisk yesterday (took 14 hours) and this thing is still popping up fatal error messages, locking up etc. and it's causing me to talk to myself - sometimes LOUDLY. Perhaps a new hard drive is the way to go. Gonna start some back-up operations for those "just in case" issues.
Have a great day!
