CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 7
OBSERVATION
STAGE
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The purpose of the observation stage is
to maintain focus on the text at hand within the normative rules of
language, context and logic which
limits the observer to the content offered by the letter of 1
Corinthians especially the previous chapters. This will serve to
avoid going on unnecessary tangents
elsewhere; and more importantly, it will provide the framework for a
proper and objective comparison with passages located elsewhere in
Scripture utilizing the same normative rules of reading /
interpretation.
Remember that something elsewhere may be
true, but in the text at hand it may not be in view.
