Yes, let's move to a whole Bible hermeneutic.......you ready?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a whole Bible hermeneutic. There is no such thing as a clean slate (TABULA RASA) in a human being. We can be as objective as we may, but we always bring something to the text. We bring with our interpretation(s) a knowledge/impression of theology, history, and literary styles/hermeneutics. Additionally, we do not even have the original manuscripts or "complete knowledge" and thus though we can be as precise as we may, it will never be "complete" in this life. While you probably meant that we should merely get back to discussing the Scripture (with which I agree) me thinks a new post on hermeneutics is fitting...
