"The text cannot mean what it never meant. The problem with "selective"
exegesis is that one will often read one's own, completely foreign,
ideas into a text and thereby make God's Word something other than what
God really said." ..Gordon Fee
You might want to pick up a copy of the book, How to Read the Bible for
all it's Worth by Gordon D. Fee & Douglas Stuart. Published by
Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49530. ISBN
0-310-37361-1 AACR2
It has a lot more to say about this matter of interpreting scripture. I
think you do a great injustice to both beekeepers and fellow believers
of God's Word by making these statements. The older I get, the more I
realize how much I really don't have it all "worked out" and how much
more so is the importance of commen sense.
