Learn to Discern

Be a Detective!

ask...

what does it actually say?

what does it actually mean?

~

(expanded)

get out your magnifying glass
look very closely
at Bible clues
specific words used
their specific meanings

use proper hermeneutics and exegesis to interpret the Bible

never use eisegesis - adding words not actually in the Bible
never redefine words to suit your purpose
never subtract from them - in negligence, or purposely taking out words

pay close attention!
investigate!
use integrity with God's Word!
