The word "exegesis" has been thrown around a lot by those who refuse to discuss the plain meaning of Scripture. This brings up the question, what is correct or proper exegesis.
Those who defend the Trinity have chosen to use an interpretative exegesis by appealing to verses taken out of context. This approach is not only counter-productive but leads to doctrinal error. Now, if we approach the Bible and use a critical explanation exegesis based on word usage found in the Bible, cultural background of the authors, and put Scriptures used to support the Trinity in the full context not only of the passage being studied, but the context of the book those passages are found in then the interpretative exegesis used to defend the Trinity falls apart.
Luke 24:38-53
38 And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 "See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." 40[And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.] 41 And while they still could not believe it for joy and were marveling, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" 42 And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; 43 and He took it and ate it before them.
44 Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." 45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day; 47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 "You are witnesses of these things. 49 "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 And it came about that while He was blessing them, He parted from them. 52 And they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple, praising God. NAS
Notice that Jesus did not open the minds of His disciples to interpret the Scriptures, yet modern day apologists freely interpret Scripture as they deem necessary to defend doctrines that were not taught by the prophets, the Lord, or His disciples.
The exegesis we will use on this forum will be a critical explanation of the Scriptures as we seek to understand the Scriptures and not interpret the Scriptures.
