Exalting  christ!

Is Christ in every text?

6/7/2022

It is so important these days to test certain postulations for exegesis and hermeneutics (ie: studying & interpreting Scripture) as there are many who have brought the church and pulpit ministry into the use of allegory. How did we come to this?

Didn't that battle get fought and won or lose out to proper exegesis a long time ago with some of the church fathers? No, not exactly. Allegory comes to us today with the fast and loose interpretation methods of postmodernists. It's rather sinister if one stops to think about it and we know the evil one is behind it just as he was in the garden when he questioned the very words of God (Gen. 3).

Here in this very important blog article by Dr. Chip Thornton we see what has been happening and how. He says this, "We agree the whole Bible centers on Christ in this way: Every text in Scripture “points” to Christ. However, to dig underneath the text for a deeper (oftentimes, superimposed) Christo-centric meaning is allegory."

I highly recommend that we delve deeply into this very concerning 21st century phenomenon. Yet, there is "nothing new under the sun" and so what we have here is again a challenge to God's trustworthy Word.

     ​This is the ministry blog of Robert Thomas Clark, It is designed to be a repository of inspiring, impactful & influential posts on biblical truth, themes and concepts, which brings insights and initiates inquisitiveness!. 

    I believe as the guys on "One-Minute Apologist" that we should be ready to provide "credible answers to curious questions".  

    ​I desire nothing more than to exalt Christ and to lead and equip others for ministry in exegetical method and expository preaching and following hard after Christ, even as I serve alongside many of them!.


     Life Verse:  
    “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”  
    ​ --- Colossians 3:17


    Inspirational Quotes:
    ​“There is no aspect of life but that the gospel has something to say about it.  The whole of life must come under its influence because it is all-inclusive; the gospel is meant to govern and control everything in our lives… We must realize the greatness of the gospel, its vast eternal span. We must dwell more on the riches, and in the riches, of these great doctrinal absolutes.”
    -- Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

    "The Bible.
    Know it in your head.
    Stow it in your heart. 
    Show it your life. 
    Sow it in the world."
    -- Dr. J. Vernon McGee
