+ | ===== How to Teach the Bible ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lesson 1: Believe the Book ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.4-5] There are no Bible teachers alive today who can produce Bible believers unless they themselves believe "the Book" to be the Bible. Infidelity produces infidels. Doubt produces doubters. Egotism produces fools. To pretend that you are a Bible believer because you are loyal to a pile of lost scraps of paper that no one has ever seen is not only cowardly, it is moronic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.6] If you sit in judgment on the Book, then YOU are the final judge. You are superior to the Book, and that is the message you will convey to every young man who sits in front of you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lesson 2: Use of Reference Material ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.7] The first fundamental was to believe the Book that was to be taught... If he does not believe it, he does not have any business teaching it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.8] Rule Two: Use any material you can get your hands on to teach the Book. Any material is legitimate... They often contain valuable information you can USE while teaching a Book that you never USE. The Book you are teaching YOU ARE IN SUBJECTION TO, for it is the living word of the living God, and it is the highest visible authority on this earth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.9] You use books on archaeology to establish the historicity of the AV text. Where they deviate--as for example ALL of them do when drawing a map on the route of the Exodus--you simply correct the scholars with the Book and redraw their maps for them, assuming that they erred because they were stupid. The more educated and " | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.9-10] Use Greek and Hebrew lexicons not only to amplify a word in the Authorized Version, but to teach it. For example, use the Hebrew for " | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.10-11] I use twenty-six English translations, | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.11] Sometimes even the "// | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.11] Use whatever you need to explain and expound the AV text. You do not have to alter one word in the text, you do not have to add words to the text or subtract words from the text... Preach it. Teach it. If you need some background on a Pauline epistle, you will find ten unsaved historians and five backslidden, | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.12] Study the commentaries; | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.13] The third basic fundamental of the Bible teacher is this: always pray for wisdom and understanding as you prepare to teach, and never trust your own wisdom or understanding as being sufficient to the task. Assume that you are WICKED and IGNORANT and CARELESS when it comes to the Holy Bible. Assume that it is HOLY and you still have an ungodly Adamic nature which resents, resists, and objects to some things God is going to say (Gen 3.1-4). Ask the Holy Ghost to teach the class, to open the eyes of the students to His revelation, englighten their understanding of His teachings, and illuminate their minds with His precepts, according to His understanding of the Book. He is the interpreter (Luke 24.45; Gen 40.8; Dan 2.28, 30), not you or ANY SCHOLAR YOU READ ANYWHERE, especially the "good, godly ones" | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lesson 3: Pray for Wisdom ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | See the last comment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.15-16] Get in the habit of seeking divine wisdom and understanding for every " | ||
+ | - Pray over the text if you feel you do not understand it. | ||
+ | - Get a concordance and check the cross-references for every word in the text, as it stands in the AV. | ||
+ | - If you still cannot get ahold of the meaning, check ten commentaries and see what each commentator says about the passage. | ||
+ | - Check ten to twenty English translations to see how they handled the passage. | ||
+ | - Now (and not until now) go to three different Greek texts (or Hebrew texts) and look up the words in a Hebrew or Greek lexicon. | ||
+ | - Now! Pray again for God to give you light in the choice of words that will best explain THE ENGLISH TEXT AS IT STANDS IN THE AV. | ||
+ | - If you still cannot "dig it," just confess to your class that you are not sure exactly what it does mean, and that until you know exactly what it means, you will hazard a GUESS as to what it means. | ||
+ | That is the only way to teach the Bible. There is no other honest way to do it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lesson 4: Mechanics ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.21-22] Personally, I believe (and I could be wrong) that the best way to teach the Bible is to take a basic Book in it (like Genesis, John, Romans, or 1Thessalonians) and teach the student verse by verse, expounding each word in each verse. That way it is possible to teach about ten courses at one time. As you expound the passage, you discuss the history of the verse (Bible history), what the verse means doctrinally (Biblical Theology), how it was used by theologians (Systematic and Dogmatic Theology), how it is constructed (Grammatical Exegesis), where it fits into the whole Bible (Biblical Exegesis and Biblical Hermeneutics), | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.22] If the verse-by-verse method is not used, then a basic systematic theology (using some textbook like Evan's //Great Doctrines of the Bible//) is the next best thing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.22-23] No matter what approach is used, seven rules must be observed: | ||
+ | - Never add to or subtract from the text of the Holy Bible. | ||
+ | - Never go to " | ||
+ | - Always notice the context of a verse. | ||
+ | - Never interpret a complete statement in the light of an incomplete statement. | ||
+ | - Always ask, "WHO is speaking, and TO WHOM is he speaking?" | ||
+ | - Always take the plain, literal meaning of every verse except where it is absolutely impossible to do so. | ||
+ | - Note that every verse in the Book has THREE applications... doctrinal... historical... devotional... | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.24-25] Early in teaching the Bible, the student should be shown the eight major DIVISIONS of the Book. You do not have to call them " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lesson 9: Some Problems ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.60-61] When you hit an apparently discrepancy... use either my book on //The " | ||
+ | - Cause you to doubt the Book and place your trust in scholarship. | ||
+ | - Make you think it is impossible to learn the Book without Hebrew and Greek. | ||
+ | - Reduce you to the level of ignorance of the Greek or Hebrew scholar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lesson 11: Topics ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | [p.75] I believe the best way to teach the Book verse by verse, beginning in Genesis in the Old Testament and possibly 1Thessalonians or Romans in the New Testament. | ||
- | Notes and quotes from books I'm reading... maybe. Might not... I might just ditch this and focus on notecards... dunno. But here it is if we want it. | ||
