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.

"And why do you prefer a subjective method of understanding the Bible"

Is revelation subjective in your view?

"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. "

LOL! It 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 the HOPE that doing so will interpret it correctly.

Men can still error and disagree when using hermeneutics.
