Lessons leant that will influence my bible interpretation in future
1.
a) Diligent in study in cooperation with the holy spirit- 2nd peter 1:21 ,for prophecy
never come by the will of man but only men of God spoke as they were moved by
the holy spirit which make it a must for us to depend in the holy spirit.
b) We must be clear about the call of biblical interpretation-the original meaning and
the intention of the author to the audience, spiritual needs of the people – to make
practical application of the scriptural passage to the life of the people. To apply
the word of God to every face of lives biblical hermeneutics
c) To understand what the writer intended to convey-. –to grasp what the divined
author intend to communicate to the heavens. –to learn how to communicate and
apply biblical message to human beings today 1st peter 1:15-16

2. 3 negative outcomes in a church which the pastor preaches using eisegesis
a) There is likely to be an interpretation of scripture hence misleading the heavens.
b) That church is in bondage John 8:32 and you shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free
c) The pastor using eisegesis is likely to add or subtract the word of God Revelation
22:18b if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plaques
that are written in these book leading to judgment
1. Psalms 50:10-11 Israel lost the true purpose of what the sacrifices really meant and
conducted themselves as hearten offering up their sacrifices to appease Jehovah, the
motive of offering was wrong, the correct manner in which the sacrifices should have
been offered should have been given in thanksgiving for the way God had made for
hiss people to have their sins covered by God their redeemer.
2. The lord comes to examine his own people who sacrifices to him and exposes the
hypocritical worshipers by showing up their wicked deeds. Christian must not forget
there is judgment of works. Paul says ‘for we must appear before the judgment seat of
Christ: that everyone may receive the things done in His body according to that hath
done, whether it is good or bad.’ 2nd Corinthians 5:10 and it was in the old, the same
judgment must be applied to us. God will like to see whether we fear him by keeping
our vows and love him with sincere thanksgiving, not the outward form of bringing
sacrifice of slain oxen and sheep in plenty. Actually God owns all the cattle upon a
thousand hills the outward expression were not fulfillment of true sacrifices we can
give whatever. But what is our motive? To God’s glory or to our glory? So let’s make
our hearth Wight with God for him to accept our sacrifices.

proclaims all sexual conduct outside of marriage to be absolutely defiled.
- 1st timothy 5:14 young widows who will pry into the private affairs of others better
marry and manage their family so that they don’t give the devil leephole in their lives
2. Christ principles on why He wrote on the ground- John 8:6-8 we aren’t told what He
wrote and why? He wrote on the ground- NEVER INVENT EXPLANATIONS TO
SILENT AREAS OF SCRIPTURES
1. 1st John 2:27-28- Christian filled with the Holy Spirit and need no teachers, seminars
and other training programs but only rely on the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

study of god’s word and dependence on the holy spirit help in interpretation
are inseparable without studious diligence the spirit will have to illuminate
