“A Bible-Guided Bible Study”

Categories: DOCTRINE
Which interpretive method do you use?

Sincerely,
Studious

Dear Studious,

Our interpretive method can be found in Ps. 119:160, “The sum of Thy Word is truth”.  We interpret the Bible using the Bible.  We take the passages in context, compare them to other passages on the given subject, and then add them together to come to a conclusion.  The Bible isn’t a matter of private interpretation (2 Pet 1:20) where anyone may decide that a passage means whatever they feel it means.  We study the Bible by using the Bible as the guide to itself.  We use Bible words in Bible ways and understand topics by looking at the totality of what the Bible says about those topics.
