Conservative, normal and literal hermeneutics takes a very tried and true approach to understanding the Bible that should include close observation of its grammatical and historical components. It would argue for but one sense or meaning for each passage of scripture, leaving no room for a complementary or theological approach, Though taking the Word of God literally, and at face value, in classical hermeneutics there is room for poetry, figures of speech, illustrations, types, and symbols, but these literary genres do not take away from the foundational or normal interpretative understanding of biblical truth. Normal interpretation also argues for progressive revelation, i.e., that the Holy Spirit over a period of time revealed certain truths in a progressive fashion. For example, the revelation of Jesus Christ starts in Genesis, but is not fully complete until the book of Revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Literal interpretation stands in opposition to allegorical\ninterpretation. Though the Apostle Paul in Galatians creates an allegory in\norder to make an isolated point or illustration (4:21-26), allegory as a system\nis but an unacceptable philosophical approach to understanding the Word of God.\nIt is clearly contrary to proper Biblical interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Luke%201.14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke\n1:14<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Luke%2024.35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">24:35<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Luke%2024.44-46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">44-46<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Luke%2024.48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">48<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/John%2021.20-23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John\n21:20-23<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Acts%2010.8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acts\n10:8<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Acts%2017.11-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">17:11-12<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Acts%2026.6-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">26:6-7<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/kjv1900\/Acts%2026.27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">26:27<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2026 From the <\/strong>DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF FAITH FOR KJV BIBLE BAPTIST CHURH<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kjvbiblebaptistchurch.com\"><strong>https:\/\/kjvbiblebaptistchurch.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0 used by permission of Robert Oliver 01\/07\/2019<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Interpretation of scripture In some ways interpretation of Scripture would not be considered doctrine, yet as it affects the way our doctrine is arrived at, it is extremely important, and so becomes an essential doctrinal issue.
