#129 3 tools to keep you from making mistakes as you read the Bible

In this lesson, here are THREE Hermeneutical tools that will help us properly interpret the Bible

1. Understand genre—is it a comic book or a cookbook?

2. Beware of the hapax—passages or words mentioned only once

3. Embrace humility—we know so little and so many have gone before us, not one of us is the final authority or expert and so we apply this by using the tools given to us by others in the Body of Christ.

We’ll go into each one and discuss how it will help us in our understanding of the Bible.
