(Comes from Hermes the Greek god of commerce who served as the messenger of the other gods. He corresponded to the Roman god Mercury (Acts 14:12; Mercurius, KJV).<BR/>This term, from Gk. hermēneuō (‘interpret’), the science and art of biblical interpretation. Correct Bible interpretation should answer the question, “How can I understand what this particular passage means?” Because there are rules that govern its use, it is a science. Because knowing the rules is not enough, it also is an art. Practice to learn how to use the rules is also required.<BR/><BR/>INSPIRATION. Noun formed from Latin and English translations of theopneustos in 2 Tim. 3:16, which av rendered: ‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.’ ‘Inspired of God’ - Of course GOD breathed is a better term....<BR/><BR/>INERRANCY. A term denoting that the soveriegn GOD has kept HIS WORD without error in its original writings. We dont have the originals but we have thousands of copies made from them by the 3rd Century so errors tend to stand out fairly well.<BR/><BR/>INFALLIBILITY. Incapable of being mistaken in matters of doctrine and dogma.<BR/><BR/>-DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31867611.post-46772706394975334572007-04-23T18:07:00.000-05:002007-04-23T18:07:00.000-05:00Anonymous...I was just stating that ones view of t...Anonymous...I was just stating that ones view of the scriptures as the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God is probably correlative with the way in which one reads the literature contained therein. There are various types of literary genre within the Bible and each has it's own method and rules of interpretation. IE: You need to ask yourself if this book or passage is historical narrative, poem, prose, apocalyptic, allegorical, etc...
