Biblical Understanding
Reading God's Word Using God's    
      Method of Comprehension
Progressive Revelation Read In Literary Context
The Holy Spirit Leads Using Written Revelation Read And Understood In Literary Context, All Other Methods Are Not of God  
Hermeneutics
The study of the science and/or method of literary interpretation. In other words,
how the meaning of a writing is understood by the reader. This "mind action"
presupposes the reader has an adequate level of education in the written language
sufficient to enable total comprehension of the word selection and writing style.

Ok, so that is a simple definition of what Hermeneutics is. Most people who read
the Bible do not consider this process of understanding a writing. Seldom is this
considered before a person is taught Bible contents, i.e. Bible stories and lessons. In
fact most Bible readers are not really aware of why they process information they
hear or read concerning the Bible, the way they do. A religious system presents the
teaching as "Correct" and few really examine or analyse what is presented in detail.
This is not the case when other writings are read however, instead a reader is
encouraged to start the learning of the writing in an order which the author presents
through the usual literary tools, i.e. Titles, Introduction, Preface, Table of Contents,
Author Bio, Subject,. etc. All of these tools provide proper hermeneutics of the writing.

Hermeneutics is an exploration of written content using ordered sensible thought,
considering one element of the writing at a time in various orders, eventually arriving
at the author's ordered system he used as he wrote.

The problem here is this, the majority of Bible readers already have been taught
how to understand it before they actually read it. They are indoctrinated by religions
who take one verse from one book, and combine it with another verse from another
book, , which then a religious tradition is used to explain the "grouping" of verses, and
in the end, they learn a religious theology (a man made system to use when talking
about the Bible and God) which is not clearly evident when reading the Bible.

This happened for the last 2000 years because of the arrangement of Bible books,
chapters, and verses, which was not a part of the writings when God caused them to
be written by His selected human writers. God used people who were existing with one
base truth as their stand in life, "God Exists and Created Me." The secondary truth
was, "I will wait for a Proof, where I know God is providing revelation for me."  The
third truth was, "God used the person where He found them, in their world, they did
not have anything to do with the content, only the context in which the content was
received and written", this secures the revelation within a human position in history.

So lets recap:
Biblical writers had a philosophy = God is my Creator, I am His creation.

Biblical writers had no theology = I don't know God, and wait for God to provide
"Proofs" the revelation is His, so I can learn how to learn about Him and me.

Biblical writers had a Hermeneutics = God directed me by teaching me what to write
and say to the people of my day and all generations after me. He preserves it by
using my contexts as a journalists of my people.

Biblical writers have God's theology which alters their philosophy and provides for
them an easy science of learning reasonably His revelation preserved in a writing.

So today looking backwards, we start with hermeneutics to learn theology, in turn to
have a philosophy in order to know God through a religious system invented, which
provided this "Way" to know God.

Now, if a person desires to have the revelation of God in the same order in which
God provided (the correct natural system of learning which God created) is it possible
for a Bible reader to do this? If so, then the Bible arrangement must be examined and
each biblical book studied to see if it can be determined which one was first, second,
etc. Then the manner in which each book is read should be without verses and
chapters. The end results is, the Bible reader today is travelling the same road as the
biblical writers did when God caused them to write what we are reading, which is
exactly as God planned it. The good news is, this order is easy to see, if one will just
pay attention to the literary context of each one of the biblical writers.

So proper Hermeneutics is:
1.
Read writing #1 with attention on Author identity, title, subject, main points.
2. Read writing #2 using the same format as above and adding to #1 as a reasoning.
3. Read all 66 books as close to the original order as possible, building one book on
another using the Author's identity, title, subject, main points, all as previously done.
4. Areas in the writing which are not understood when you are completely done
reading, are to be noted, but NOT guessed about. If the writer does not supply the
information as determined within the literary context (I did not say, your subject
context) use nothing else but the author's provided information.

This system is the one which God provided apart from human consultation and
contribution as to design. Man can be credited with writing from his place in his nation,
education, language, culture, economy, government, religion and personality along
with his knowledge of previous and future writers of God.

Now in the case of the biblical writings, we have 66 books written by various
people who lived in a totally foreign world from an American -- or any other nation --  
with at least 1900 years separating the reader and writer. Religions are everywhere
dominating societies all over the world. To shut out religious influences a person will
have to work harder with this problem, than the problem of actually reading the Bible.
Now also factor in the influences religions and governments have had on the actual
writing since the biblical writers have penned the words, and you understand there is
way more work in actually arriving at the place of the biblical writer's literary context
alone, one on one, you and the writer's writing.

So here I will relieve you from years of work and frustration attempting to shed off
from your minds; influences God said you don't need in order to have a relationship
with him through His Son, The Creator, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
Applied To The Bible
The work for today's Bible reader starts
with identifying what is religious
influences and what is from the Bible.

How can you achieve this easily? It
is actually easy to do if you will trust
your ability to read and are willing to
make notes to aid in your memory. Also
you must learn the writer's literary
context, meaning all areas of his life and
times.

Now assuming you are at this point, lets
list the science terms and steps needed
to comprehend a biblical writing.

1. Author identity
2. Title
3. Subject
4. Age of writing
5. Association with other biblical writers.
6. Association with the other subjects of
the Bible books.
7. Note the difference between your
world and the world of the writer's writing.


There is a lot of work in those seven
steps. However if you will work through
them you will automatically know all
there is to know in each biblical writing.

Now one thing I should point out
when working the seven steps. If you
can't determine the answer to one of the
steps, leave it blank and note it as such.

Steps 5-7 might remain blank with some
of the biblical books This doesn't mean
you need them in order to fully
understand. What it means is the writer
and God did not think you needed that
info in order to comprehend the
PURPOSE of the writing.

You must understand, that each
biblical writer was moved by God to
provide what God wanted all readers of
all times to read and learn. If you have a
question as you read, write it down for
that book, and remember, there might
not be an answer to it. But perhaps
there will be an answer within another
book or during the 8th time you re-read.

God designed the Bible books to fit
together in the order in which He
caused people to write them. God's
people lived while God was causing this
collection of writings to be preserved
and passed along, knowing that He
would cause the complete written word
to be completed.

When each writing happened, the
people read and learned. This step by
step procedure EXCLUDED all man's
religion, and systems of having a
relationship with God, and instead,
INCLUDED a theological system He
designed using man's system of writing
journals for that present day of writing.

Hermeneutics as God designed it
occurred naturally in the writing
process. The process was the actual
event of each writer operating within his
people.

It is a very interesting truth, that all
the writers of the Bible penned from a
place in time, which has many historical
factual records available today for the
entire world to have access for learning.

It doesn't matter which part of the
biblical writing context you are not
familiar with, you can learn it with ease
and arrive at a full understanding of any
literary context a biblical writer used
when writing God's revelation thousands
of years ago.
