The Bible

 

Historical - a proper interpretation of Scripture requires a study of the verses in relation to the historical and cultural setting surrounding the context of those verses.

Personal Opinion:

This seems to be quite liberal. the only problem with it is that it gives us all complete freedom to twist or completely ignore a line of scripture which rubs the wrong way by saying its application applies uniquely to a by-gone era.

My hope would be that the Holy Spirit would not allow misinterpretation to capture a believer.

A non-believer is unlikely to be overly concerned over scripture which rubs the wrong way, historical or cultural setting be darned.
