Hermeneutics.

You can't say I have not been pushing, sharing, preaching about the Holy Spirit being the "Helper" that Jesus promised that He would send down after He ascended into Heaven. Well, I must admit that I feel good, and vindicated having read this great, helpful article written by, Jack Kelley. Frankly, I get very bored and frustrated not understanding something I am reading. I was trained to read and understand Securities and Insurance contracts that are mostly written to be MIS-understood by the client so the Insurance man could sell you something that benefits HIM $$$$ -- not you! My company, PFS Investments taught us that the so-called 'bundled' insurance policies like: Universal Life Insurance are a very poor investment, and most Annuities are terrible. We used to call them "Bungled" Insurance.
Better to buy "TERM Life Insurance and invest the rest !" Right now I am 'un-insurable' for health reasons and age, so I just INVEST to make sure that my wife is well taken care of-- when I die. Doctors and Lawyers get scammed too just like the working class, and I think that most Life Insurance is a rip off, unless you are well educated in that stuff.

And how about the recent obama Bills that are being pushed through Congress without anyone being able or willing to READ THEM FIRST?? If passed, ObamaCare and Cap and Trade WILL KILL AMERICA economically and other wise, IMHO !! The Rapture will come anyway-- but these bad Bills will make life a lot worse in the mean time. But who knows that God may be fed up with all our insanity, corrupt greed, selfishness, abortion and immorality- Gay agenda-- and He will allow America's demise and down fall. I have posted about that a few times too.

But... HIS Will be done [Matt. 6:9] NOT ours.

I love HERMENEUTICS !

How to Interpret the Bible

Posted: 15 Nov 2009 09:27 AM PST

By Jack KelleyThe Bible isn’t such a complex document that it requires years of formal education before you can begin to comprehend it. I’ve always believed the Bible was meant to be understood by any believer who can read and has a serious interest in knowing what it says. I say this because I believe the Bible is best approached by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than one’s own

Hey, you watched the vikings, huh? I watched them too. I am glad they beat the Lions since Dante Culpepper is on their team now, haha. Adrian Pederson did pretty dang well.

Hermeneutics is good and I think a lot of young Christians need to learn how to read the Bible the moment they convert. www.wretchedradio.com has a good hermeneutics book for about $20. It is called "Herman Who?"

I haven't read it yet but you might like it.

God Bless.
