Context (both literary, historical-cultural, etc) is all part and parcel of exegeting the Text.
And I'm juuuuuuuuust as shocked! Tell me Jeffrey, what does history have to do w/ literal word definitons, or Greek syntax for example????? Not saying at all that culture plays a part in the text, but I'm speaking strict exegesis of the actual text, not loose exegesis. Culture will not judge us in eternity, but His Word will. Perhaps YOU need to do a little more scholarly work
I don't have time or patience to re-quote when you can back browse a few pages and copy/paste if you care to respond. |
Your "arguments" are nothing new, will try to learn how to copy/paste & respond if I have time [I'm embarrasingly computer illiterate!].
