Cameroon Bible Institute

Sharing with us from chapter 6.I have learned that I have to study the Bible show my self approved unto God and that I don’t have to be ashamed of the word of God. Divine authority means that we accept the Bible as the Final authority because it is inspired by God from Genesis to Revelation and there 2 types of inspiration;
* Verbal inspiration is every word in the original manuscripts was inspired by God.
* Plenary inspiration is a full inspiration of all scripture as opposed to partial inspiration.
There is no conflict between the Bible and History or science and if there’s any apparent conflict it is because I have failed to understand science or history or the current scientific knowledge is not accurate.
In order for me to study my Bible and have a better understanding I must study the verse in it’s context by asking my self the following Questions;
* Who is speaking or writing?
* What is being said?
* To whom is it Being said?
* Why was it said?
* When was it said?
I have also learned the different rules for interpretation which are as follows;
* Divene authority is by accepting the Bible as the final authority because it’s inspired by God.
* Literal interpretation means exactly what it says.
* Contextual consideration mean studying in relation to the verses which proceed and follow it.
* First Mention is seen when a word, phrase, object or incident is mentioned in the Bible for the first time.
* Repetition is when something is repeated in scripture for emphasis and important.
* Cumulation revelation is the full truth of God’s word on any subject must not be gathered from an isolated passage.
Thank God for the above rules of the veriouse interpretation I have known their differences and similarities.
Thanks
