Everything Rises and Falls on Interpretation
It all starts and ends with accurate Bible Interpretation. If the knowledge of God which would birth a vital experience with Him today was committed to us in words, then words need to be taken with utmost diligence. Then comes the need for exegesis. Seeking for the meaning of bible words and statements rather than infusing your own ideas, thoughts or suggestions. As you're reading, you're asking yourself, "what did this writer mean, what did he intend to communicate to me when he wrote this" that's true diligence in bible study. To which the answer to those questions are many times found in basic principles of literature that we overlook. For instance, surely Moses did not expect you to think that a literal snake literally spoke English (Hebrew) to Eve. He must have employed a figure of speech that his very immediate audience understood, which readers of today, thousands of years later need to go back in time to see - as they 'sit' where the first audience 'sat'. Amen.
