“My hermeneutics is when I see verses in Scripture that are "apparent" contradictions - I don't believe they are contradictions - I believe them both. I believe them both. I believe take up your cross and deny yourself and follow me, and I believe come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. They are different sides of the same thing.” GivingBelieveDifferentI BelieveSidesCrossesDon't BelieveHeavyDenyScriptureContradictionVersesWearyFollow MeDifferent SidesHermeneutics Author:Rick Warren
“My faith, my hermeneutics does not demand that I correlate every verse. In other words, there are often verses that appear, I'm a John 3:16 Christian, I believe God so loved the world, I do believe that, and I believe that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish. But I also believe, you know, predestination from the foundation of the Earth. So to me, I'm able to hold tensions in my mind rather than having to explain them. To me, I don't fit in a real good box and I believe them both.” KnowsWorldMindBelieveDoeRealAbleEarthChristianI BelieveFitDemandFoundationBoxesTensionBelieve In GodVersesPredestinationHermeneutics Author:Rick Warren
“From Rome, now the nuncio is on the border where [Ukrainians] are fighting, helping soldiers and the wounded. The Church of Rome has sent so much help there. It's always peace, agreements. We must respect the Minsk accords and so on. This is the entirety. But, don't get scared by that phrase. And this is a lesson that a piece of news must be interpreted with the hermeneutic of everything and not just a part.” HelpingFightingChurchPiecesLessonsNewsSoldierScaredBordersPhrasesAgreementRomeWoundedAccordEntiretyHermeneutics Author:Pope Francis

“How many times have you struggled with the interpretation of certain Biblical texts related to the time of Jesus' return because they did not fit with a preconceived system of eschatology? Russell's Parousia takes the Bible seriously when it tells us of the nearness of Christ's return. Those who claim to interpret the Bible literally, trip over the obvious meaning of these time texts by making Scripture mean the opposite of what it unequivocally declares. Reading Russell is a breath of fresh air in a room filled with smoke and mirror hermeneutics.” MeanCertainReadingJesusChristRoomsAirReturnFitOppositesClaimsBreathsMirrorsFilledObviousScriptureSmokeRelatedInterpretationBiblicalFresh AirHermeneuticsEschatologySmoke And Mirrors Author:Gary DeMar
“In using terms like patriarchy, hermeneutics, and sexual/textual, I do not wish to misrepresent the Qurn as a feminist text; rather, the use of such terminology shows my own intellectual disposition and biases.” UseShowsWishTermMy OwnIntellectualFeministPatriarchyDispositionTerminologyHermeneutics Author:Asma Barlas

“Hermeneutics is a way of looking at Being as an inheritance that is never considered as ultimate data. Capitalism has always grown by considering, or forcing another to consider, as a 'natural' possession what is inherited. The great dominating families are really the inheritors of the strongest pirates, thieves, and bandits, and they consider themselves entitled to command through a divine or natural law, when they really are only the result of a forgotten 'violence'.” WayLawNaturalResultsViolenceDivineCapitalismUltimateForgottenPossessionCommandDataStrongestThievesConsideringEntitledInheritancePirateNatural LawDominatingBanditsHermeneutics Book:Hermeneutic Communism: From Heidegger to Marx Source: Hermeneutic Communism: From Heidegger to Marx
