Getting all we can from Scripture Seven disciplines that help us read God's ideas out of the biblical text (rather than read our ideas into the text)

2 Tim. 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed

2 Tim. 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed Assumption: All the human authors of Scripture were inspired by one Divine Author

2 Tim. 3:16 - All Scripture is God-breathed Assumption: All the human authors of Scripture were inspired by one Divine Author; so there is an underlying unity in the diversity and dissonance of Scripture

Discipline #5 - Consider parallel passages Have we compared our text with other similar texts?

eg. Mark 11:23-24

eg. Mark 11: whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

eg. Gen. 19:1-25

eg. Gen. 19:1-25 Ezekiel 16: Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

eg. Gen. 19:1-25 Ezekiel 16: Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. For the original audience, the focus of the Sodom story was hospitality rather than homosexuality
