Exegesis would be the actual work of understanding what the text actually means while hermeneutics would be the method you use to do that. There are many ways to cook and eat a steak- oven, bbq, skillet, etc. Cooking is akin to exegesis, and how you cook it is akin to hermeneutics. All too often in bible studies the question is asked, "what does it mean to you?" however the real question should be what is the author's intent and what did it mean to his audience. I Hope that helps.
This is the first time hearing you teach Pastor, I'm from Bel Air, Md. Awesome presentation on hermeneutics, I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Theology. Sermon Construction and Presentation is where we are in the course right now, hearing you tonight was right on time, continued blessings to you and your church Ministry.
I totally agree with the language gap, and as my teacher said; Koine Greek was the most expressive language ever created, and God planed all 3 mostly used languages and times to bring forth Jesus. But, also the things of the times, the thoughts of the times, the perception and who they were trying to reach, and why the language had to be of perfect/Divine calling to cover thousands of years and still be so true.. love your presentation; sorry I am so opinionated!!
I grew up in Coram back in the 60's-70's and still have family in the area. I left LI when i was in my mid-thirties because there just didn't seem to be a church that had a good balance of rightly understanding scripture and a healthy church life. I now live in NE Tennessee where I help others learn to read their Bibles well via hermeneutics. I'm so glad to see that there's someone in my old hometown that's teaching others the same. Kudos to Rich and the leadership there. We need those that can help us rightly divide the word of truth.
Hello Pastor. I've been studying the Bible for many years now. I've used many tools during my studies. I'm now interested in learning more about Hermeneutics. Listening to part 1 I noticed that you said that us Christians are still under God's Law. Well within my studies it's to my understanding that God's Law could mean several different things. God's Moral/Everlasting Law, Ten Commandments, Law of Moses, with its Ceremonial Laws. It's also to my understanding that Jesus actually fulfilled the requirements of the Law of Moses, and therefore these are the Laws we are not under. The intended purpose of these Laws were to make Israel right with God until Jesus came. Now that faith is here, the Law of Moses is no longer necessary. It is now obsolete. We are made right with God by our faith in Christ Jesus. Actually our Unconditional Love fulfills all of God's Commandments. Law has no bearing on those who totally loves God and loves each other as Jesus has loved us. Please help me to understand your position on this matter. I would like to share your lessons with my wife. I write this comment with all due respect. Be blessed.
Excellent question! Not being under the law means that you are not relying on your obedience to the Mosaic law to save you- in that sense you're under grace- we're saved by faith in Jesus Christ alone apart from works. However, we do not jettison the law, and when I say law, I mean the moral law of the ten commandments. In fact Jesus in John 14:15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments." He says it several more times through to chapter 15. The moral law is written on our heart and should come out through our hands (behavior). Love is the goal and fulfillment of the law. Remember, 1 Jn 3:4 says sin is lawlessness. We are not antinomians. We hold to the threefold use of the law which can be found here- short version: ua-cam.com/video/rH8gV6Wqrhc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ReformedRookie. and the longer version here: ua-cam.com/video/qE8LKET3Rnc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ReformedRookie I hope that helps. Blessings to you!
@@ReformedRookie Thank you so much for responding promptly. I truly respect your ministry. Please excuse my ignorance. I'm not a trained minister and I have no titles. I'm just a person that loves the Living and Written Word of God. Just a few more questions if you don't mind. In John 14:15 Jesus said "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." Would you agree that at that particular time the Apostles weren't able to keep God's Commandments since they hadn't yet been filled with the Holy Spirit? In order for them to Love others the way that Jesus Loved them would require Agape Love correct? We can only produce Unconditional Love if we have been born of the Spirit. If we are born of the Spirit we can no longer continue to sin correct? Maybe I reading this out of context. Please help me straighten things out. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. I John 3:9 NKJV
@@rickrags3 No need to apologize. When you are indwelled by the Holy Spirit and born again, you have a new nature that wants to please God. It doesn't mean that you'll never sin again- you will have a battle going on between your spirit and your flesh just as Paul describes in Gal 5:16-25. The apostles were saved (born again) by faith in Jesus just like all of the OT saints. The outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost sealed and guaranteed their salvation but does not ensure that they'll never sin again. And when you sin, you have God's promise: 1 John 1:8-10 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. This is the promise for the born again believer. I hope that helps- please email me for the other videos. Blessings.
Hey great video love learning about this stuff. Was just wondering about one thing though. When you were talking about how the geographical gap. I looked up there was no enemy left from dan to bear-sheba and couldn't find it anywhere. I just wanted confirmation on this and wondering what verse you are referring to. Thanks for clarification love the videos though keep it up.❤
The Sad part is I have heard men spout they use hermeneutics, and then interpret scriptures wrong. Sad but true. If hermeneutics is an exact science, then all would interpret the same, and there would not be hundreds of denominations and most of them in error just as scripture, and Paul says
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking- the objective by product of hermeneutics is to correctly understand and convey what the author of the text meant when he wrote it.
You did a wonderful job! But, as I coldly posted below (sorry); another example as you offered so many good ones... is: verse out of context as you say, and yet these people say it is hermeneutics and we have 3 major eschatological groups and dozens of sub-groups and they are All, riddled with problems and errors, and why?? Because many have a preconceived ideas and then seek to reverse engineer the scriptures to meet their theory of what it says and all under the guise of using a big word for interpretation...
spot on. good example is John Calvin. His Institutes was written 3 yrs after he was converted from Catholicism. How could we trust biblical doctrine to a 3yr old believer?
Anybody heard Of Bill Donahue, his interpretation reflects that the Bible is all about the mind, ..would luv to hear somebody's opinion on such? Some of what he says is in correlation wit science or science based, so to speak!
Im 20 minutes in and he still hasnt taught or described anything of relevance. If you are looking for something that gives the definitive rules and skills of biblical interpretation skip this video

Appreciate this video! What's the difference between hermeneutics and exegesis?
Exegesis is the product of your hermeneutic
Thats good Pastor can you give me the presentation?
Sure- send me an email.

Dear Pastor, How do I apply hermeneutics as a method to show the results objectively?
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking- the objective by product of hermeneutics is to correctly understand and convey what the author of the text meant when he wrote it.
You did a wonderful job! But, as I coldly posted below (sorry); another example as you offered so many good ones... is: verse out of context as you say, and yet these people say it is hermeneutics and we have 3 major eschatological groups and dozens of sub-groups and they are All, riddled with problems and errors, and why??

spot on. good example is John Calvin. His Institutes was written 3 yrs after he was converted from Catholicism. How could we trust biblical doctrine to a 3yr old believer?
do you think there are many ways to God, or only through Jesus?
The Holy Spirit guides us to proper hermeneutics, He is God and able to open our hearts to revelation of His Word
That doesn't relieve you from properly interpreting it
Anybody heard Of Bill Donahue, his interpretation reflects that the Bible is all about the mind, ..would luv to hear somebody's opinion on such? Some of what he says is in correlation wit science or science based, so to speak!
What makes him think its about a mind, but not God's mind?
@ReformedRookie True..I just wondered what ppl think, ..His own interpretation, of course!
Just wanted to say, as far as Proverbs 2:3-5, the author is referring to wisdom, discernment and understanding. He is not referring to the Word of God
Im 20 minutes in and he still hasnt taught or described anything of relevance. If you are looking for something that gives the definitive rules and skills of biblical interpretation skip this video
