    this was great and it allowed me to understand where exegesis fits into it also. That whole proces is hermeutics but the breaking down of that letter to get what the writer meant would be exegesis.

    3:35 A 4th factor identified in hermeneutics is the second reader: they bring their own values, morals and understanding to the text they are reading, they will naturally change the meaning of what they are reading simply by living in another era, coming from a different country or language. It is something we need to take into account and hopefully limit its effect on what we interpret.

    My preacher preaches almost exclusively expository sermons. He is quoted as saying, words only have meaning in the context in which they are found. He also says you have to earn the right to preach topically. All too often sermons I hear online that are topical literally rip the words out of context and make them mean something that was never the original intention of the author. So, you end up with the absolute mess of denominations we have today.

    • @YahuahsChosen

      Your preacher is a liar either in ignorance or for profit aka tithing...501c3 contributions. I know he spews lies based on this...
      *"I(YaHUsHa) come in my Father's name (YaHUaH) but you DO NOT RECEIVE me! He comes in his own name (jesus,yeshua,yasiwashi,allah,christ,buddha,nimrodntammuz,etc.) and YOU ARE QUICK TO RECEIVE HIM!" Quick! Halal lu Yah means Praise be to Yahuah not any other world made name. Yahusha is the only name given to us for deliverance. Not a translation bc even Google agrees that NAMES NEVER TRANSLATE! Transliteration is different. The letter j is only 500 years old so even a child could do the math and place that name as recently added! We recognize that Jesus is a name the world designed and put into scriptures where it should not be...THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION is THE FALSE IDOL THAT IS JESUS. Not Yahusha who DIED FOR US. Jesus is sitting in Yahusha's set apart place where it shouldn't be! We are to sing praises, thank, worship, and pray to YAHUSHA'S name only! Not a newly created device the scribes and pharahsee's put into scripture removing the key to salvation, playing gate keeper. We were told! We were warned. It is written! Search up "profane my **-holy-** name" and apply this truth Yahusha brought forth to you and you will see THAT WE HAVE PROFANED AND FORGOTTEN His name for our own names. There is nothing new under the sun! Generational curses "Because your father's fathers have forgotten my name and have called me by names of ba'al(lord=ba'al)." Book of Galatians cries out for us to see that we have been cat fished. We have fallen into the snare and the whole world has been led astray save for His remnant. Not the church. Not Circe the great whore!Test this matter, study and show yourselves approved! The road is narrow AND VERY VERY FEW find it. The road that SEEMS right to man is broad but leads to death! That broad road can hold billions but not the narrow road. Halal lu Yahuah forever! Baruk Yahuah!*

      Exactly this. This is why I don't enjoy going to church or listening to sermons. I don't feel like most people on the pulpit have truly studied the texts they are speaking on. I don't know how many speakers I've heard IRL have even gone to seminary or gotten formal education, but it feels very low.
      This is why I'd rather listen to scholars and theologians online. I'm interested in the text, not what some guy on the stage was thinking about the past week after reading some passages, or worse, trying to find passages that relate to whatever random topic they wanted to talk about that week.

    As I'm unlearning dispensational preaching and teaching that is prevalent and today's Evangelical churches I've had to unlearn the things that I was taught over the years. Pastor Ken matey who you can find on youtube, I've learned through his preaching and teaching the importance of hermeneutics and biblical interpretation. If I would have learned this early on in my walk from the age of 12, I'm now 53, I would not have been easily tricked and beguiled by the infiltration of Satan and the enemy from within the church and the pews and pulpits of the false or mislead preachers and teachers. Most people are spiritual lazy and have not obeyed the King to be like the bereans. Standing upon Luke 9:62 KJV, this is a public thank you to the King of Kings and the Lord of lords, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that I serve. I'm glad that he has been patient with me, as I continue to press in, and learn and grow as I work out my salvation.

  • @scottsponaas
    @scottsponaas 2 роки тому +1

    This was really helpful. One suggestion I would have is to see if you can come up with a better example letter. In this one, it seems to me that the intended message that Christmas is coming, was communicated to both readers, they just had different feelings about it and reacted different. Both still got the message.
    (I know this is a 3 year old video so I’m not expecting an update.)
    I’m going to spend some time to see if I can come up with an example of a statement that the letter could have on it where homophones are used and two totally different messages are interpreted but both are reasonable.
    Perhaps an example along the lines of somebody today writing a letter to a friend that said “Whatever you do, be careful not to let the cat out of the bag.”
    A reader today would interpret that to mean not to expose certain information that’s being kept secret. However hypothetically 2,000 years from now, such an idiom might be outdated and when somebody reads the same letter they might take it at face value and determine that the two people were kidnapping kittens or something.
    Just a thought, especially if you’re still teaching these awesome lessons. Great video!

    • @EthanRenoe

    • @scottsponaas
      @scottsponaas 2 роки тому

      @@EthanRenoe lol that one is awesome. Yeah after watching this video I felt like the Holy Spirit was like “dig into this a bit” and I started looking up idioms and figured out a whole bunch of them.
      I could say “I’m down for the count” and one person might take that to mean that I’m out of commission while someone else back then would have thought I had traveled down from the mountains to participate in the census.
      If they said back then “cut him some slack” they would have meant to take it easy on someone, but a person today could read that and start cutting a pair of jeans to make jean shorts. 🤣.

    @toddvtx1300 Місяць тому

    Thank you for the video. You did a good job explaining hermeneutics and I liked your injection of humor. :)
    I have three thoughts about what you shared:
    First, it's always important to take a person's paradigm into consideration. When people read, view, et cetera something, their point of view affects their interpretation and understanding. For example, using your letter example, imagine there is a person who was threatened by some members of the church of Corinth. Imagine that they were told that they would "get what was coming to them soon..." Maybe what was meant was the threat of hell in the afterlife, not a worldly punishment at Christmas. Now, imagine they find that same letter you mention about Christmas, and it was written to the church at Corinth. That person might read that and then be fearful for the coming of Christmas, based on their past experience with the persons from that church that threatened them. Also, this is why there are so many different denominations. A Lutheran vs. a Catholic vs. a Baptist reading the same verse results in three different explanations based on their paradigms.
    Second, when we use hermeneutics and interpretation, we can do the best we can with the limited information we have. We only have so many sources of information that help us understand the situation we are trying to learn about. Over centuries, lots of information and context will inevitably be lost, reinterpreted, or even changed by people in power to support their paradigms. Thus, our interpretation is based only on what we know/our limited knowledge.
    Third, in today's "information age," I think we have lost the importance of relying on experts. Pastors that went to seminary, learned about the early church, studied the original languages, studied contexts, et cetera will have more of a relevant and reliable explanation of what a Biblical text means. Of course, they too might be affected by their and/or their church body's paradigms...

    • @EthanRenoe
      @EthanRenoe  Місяць тому

      I totally agree! One phrase we learned in seminary was "When we don't take the time to learn what was unspoken or implied in their world, we will insert what is in ours."

But this video helps so much. My study is looking at a particular group of patients and how they experience changes to work/training opportunities and adaptations within the limits of their disabilities. So essentially asking people what it actually means to them and how they experience day to day living with these conditions. Almost like in depth, subjective case studies to give a voice to those who are very seldomly heard. Hope that helps anyone looking.

    So this would mean that nothing in the Bible applies to us because all that is written was written to and for certain people in that time. This would mean that even Christ's words aren't to be taken as applicable given the "context"

    • @EthanRenoe
      @EthanRenoe  7 місяців тому

      Kind of! Obviously the Bible doesn't address "How to best use your iPhone or social media," for example, but it definitely gives us frameworks for how to think about attention, desires, peace, relationships which will help us more wisely think about those other issues it doesn't address. We just need to be thorough and accurate in constructing that framework! And of course many of the issues remain: Power, politics, money, sex, marriage, poverty, etc. Some things never change! :)

    • @cutoats
      @cutoats 6 місяців тому

      I would say they may or may not be directly applicable to us but it is important to get the true original, purpose and intent of the passage and then consider what is the the same and what has changed from the original context to the context we are living in today which even then it can be different for different people living in different circumstances. And Then for application you have to faithfully bridge the contextual gap.

    But what if God wrote the Bible? If a all powerful, all knowing, God is rally the divine author of the bible, isn't it reasonable to conjecture that having a ''godly mindset'' or dare I say it
    ''the Mind of Christ'' also play a important role on whether or not the reader is interpreting or understanding the Holy scriptures correctly? I'll try to make a similar point another way,
    a dominant secular worldview or mindset, might be ill equipped to understand a fundamentally supernatural book like the Bible, because the author and his words are fundamentally
    supernatural, ie in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was GOD, and Jesus Christ is also referred to as The Word, so you tell me, how can a secular mindset fully grasp the intent and meaning behind such spiritually filled theology in those words ? I've no problem with Hermeneutics, it is an important tool, I just hope people who read this comment and your video
    don't make the mistake of thinking that Hermaneutics is the only tool available to the reader to best understand the scriptures in there context, trust me God has his own version of
    hermeneutics he imparts in the heart and mind of a sincere believer who desire to know HIM and his Word.

    This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.

    Although this explanation is helpful, and I’m no expert, it fails to represent the big picture for me: that Heidegger fundamentally changed the nature of academic study by introducing the concept of recursive inquiry, with his insight that the progressive disclosure of scientific facts fundamentally changes the reality of our world. Or something like that…
