That's illogical. Books can't read themselves. They're intermediaries! I don't know if that was supposed to be funny, but I found your comment to be delightfully funny 😄

@@josephtyldesley6116​​⁠I tend to be overly serious. If you didn’t need an actual explanation, just disregard. It is a phrase, a bit over generalized, imo, because it overlooks the work that goes into truly understanding the Bible, but it is also a true statement. The true meaning of the phrase lies in the fact that the Bible is so interconnected that to truly understand a verse or section, you may need to study an entirely different book or chapter and maybe multiple.

@@SingGladness1546 I am, unfortunately, well-versed in hermeneutics. I actually believe this phrase and thinking is slightly dangerous. Joseph, the patriarch, was able to honor God in a foreign land with no Bible... just a handful of stories about God from his fathers. There was no command about adultery yet, but his spirit responded to God when tempted. I find his faith more brave and remarkable than anyone I've sat next to in Bible study. His statement, "you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good" -- a summation of the entire gospel -- was spoken in faith through the Spirit before it was eventually recorded by Moses and became "the Word." Or at least it may seem. The questionable phrase makes us ignore that the process of "interpreting scripture through scripture" is dependent on weak intermediary minds and spirits. Thanks for listening, and God bless you if you made it this far!

@josephtyldesley6116 I wish I could hrlp you understand in a text. It took a long sermon with multiple examples on how you use the book to understand the book. His point is that we don't stop to try to understand what the author wants us to understand. All these authors would have known from memory most of the scripture and talking to people that also may have most of the scripture memorized. They were not trying to evoke feelings.

Simple: the word translated "kill" is in Hebrew "murder." The law says, "you shall not murder, the murderer must be put to death." In the Bible, almost any action is good or evil depending on the context. Jesus affirms the death penalty several times in His ministry. The question is, did David have JUST or RIGHTEOUS cause to kill his adversaries. The argument for that is found in Leviticus. Not all of David's killing was righteous. Hope this helps. God bless you!

To Kill and Murder are two things.

Yeah like God wasn't happy when he made Uriah( or whatever his name was ) die in battle

Ok I have another question. Who is "The Lord"? Is it the triune God or Jesus or The Father?

@@ilovemysweeties fantastic question. Will have to think about it. It's a trinity question combined with a linguistic question about the word "Lord."

Your feelings are not important. When it comes to reading and understanding the Bible.
