Then you don't understand *hermeneutics, context and the importance of understanding the culture of the times.

1-the importance of understanding the culture of the times.

We reside in a temporal kingdom, and I perfer to Lord to elevate my mind! So I can understand the Lord teachings!

*her·me·neu·tics n. (used with a sing. or pl. verb). The science and methodology of interpretation, especially of scriptural text.

I perfer to understand scriptures when the Lord talks to me by the SPIRIT of the LAW, instead of the LETTER of the LAW!

And why do you prefer a subjective method of understanding the Bible and what do you use in support of your thoughts? You can't rip James 1:5 out of its context to support your thoughts here.

Yes, hermeneutics is a method of studying the Bible where the historical, grammatical, interpretive method of understanding what the Bible says and taking into account the historical and cultural meaning of a saying or word and its linguistic significance in order to interpret it correctly.

Objectivity is required or you'll fall for anything.
