They Don't Realize Human Theology Ruins Them
Public Domain Pictures Human theology puts God in a box. More so this thing they call hermeneutics . I studied hermeneutics just to find out why they put it on a high pedestal and worship it as a god. They say you can't interpret the bible without these two, practically negating the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. If you tell them this, they'd concede a little and say that theology and hermeneutics depend on the Holy Spirit or the Holy Spirit uses theology and hermeneutics. Do they? Does HE? Just look at "contextualization." Why did Jesus cut-short Isaiah 61? Shouldn't he have quoted the whole verse and also mention about proclaiming "the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn," to complete verse 2. In fact, he should've quoted up to verse 3 to complete the work of the Messiah. Another is the passage on Jesus being God's Son "called out of Egypt" [Matthew 2.15].
