Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh Yo Whats Up With You Man O Whats Up Wit You Bruh Yea I Noticed You Readin Ya Bible And Everything Thats Raw Ah Amen Bruh But I Just Wanna Know Have You Ever Heard Of Hermeneutics Hermeneutics? Yea Hemeneutics Naw Whats That Mayne? Well Thats Just Simply Uh The Art And Science Of Biblical Interpretation O Ok Ok And Its Very Beneficial If You Learn How To Do It You Know What Im Sayin'

The first task of the interpreter is called exegesis

(extra Jesus)

Naw I said exegesis man

It's a Latin word don't be scared

Matter of fact I laughed when I first heard it too

Its spelled e-x-e-g-e-s-i-s

Guarantee you learn this process and you'll be blessed

Exegesis is the careful systematic

Study of scripture for the Christian this should be a habit

But to discover the original intended meaning

Of the author to his audience is exegeting

But to do this man you need some tools

So let me recommend a couple of things you should use

Aight cool

First man you need this book

It's called a commentary and it helps you to further look

Into some essential things you need to check

In order for you to properly interpret the text

With this skill this should keep you from heresy

And keep you from going through theological therapy,

The words of God will change your life/

If you keep the text in its context

With this skill

This should keep you from heresy

And keep you from going through theological therapy

The words of God will change your life

If you keep the text in its context

You need some more books I know its gettin' scary

But you need some definitions get a bible dictionary

To go without these tools you can't afford it

That's why you need this book called a concordance

And every time you start to think this is too much to do

I recommend you reflect on 2 Timothy 2

And 15

And you'll see what I mean

Simply because the serpent is lurking to glean

Those who don't read

And those who don't study

To keep a lock on this treasure

From unlocking the pleasure

Cause God's word is lovely

That's why we hold it as precious as pearls

To let our exegetical work reflect to the world

In accuracy

Hoping that you happy to see

The very words God breathe handle accurately

Yeah so many take text out of context

And come up with mess and more nonsense

With this skill this should keep you from heresy

And keep you from going through theological therapy,

The words of God will change your life/

If you keep the text in its context

With this skill

This should keep you from heresy

And keep you from going through theological therapy

The words of God will change your life

If you keep the text in its context

What you don't wanna do is called eisegesis

(I see Jesus)

Naw I said eisegesis man

You a silly dude its Latin too

And that's just the act of when your adding to

Or the process of reading one's own meaning

Into the text and that's just eisegeting

Don't fret I know these words are new

And phrases to

But it's cool to go back to school

Its spell ei-se-gesis

Guarantee you learn this process and God'll be vexed

A text can never mean what it never meant before

To its original reader or author

So if you run into a difficult passage and you know the Bible never contradicts itself

Then turn the pages to a parallel passage and just let the scriptures interpret itself

With this skill this should keep you from heresy

And keep you from going through theological therapy,

The words of God will change your life/

If you keep the text in its context

With this skill

This should keep you from heresy

And keep you from going through theological therapy

The words of God will change your life

If you keep the text in its context
