Presuppositions

When I was in Seminary they use a fancy word known as hermeneutics which means an interpretation of scripture. Unfortunately, which interpretation is true because men have bias, that is the reason we have groups in the Protestant faith that says one thing and the other says the opposite. My point is that both protestant groups the Armenians and the Calvinist are both wrong because they view scripture based upon men as theologians to interpret scriptures. This is what I mean by presupposition, it is the idea of having a preconceived idea what you think scripture is saying before you read it, you must be non bias in this approach. The proper way to look at scripture is not to put on some particular glasses and say what you think it says, but to read it with no bias intentions. It says what it says, test scripture with scripture and if it not congruent than it is not true. Also I discovered in seminary that men put their doctrines first and then go about proving those so called doctrines in the Bible. But this is wrong because you are only validating your own preconceive ideas or doctrines that you think are correct. Others take scripture out of context this is when one verse gives support for their argument but the context of the rest of scripture says the opposite we must judge scripture with scripture. If you seek the Truth with all your heart and have the right motives then you will find the Truth if not God is not mock.
