Rightly dividing the Word. (bible, Israel, quote, faith)

[pentatonic]

Has anyone here every heard of "Right Division"? A lot of people cannot understand the Bible because they read it out of context. God has two programs. One for the Israelites and Gentiles.

To "rightly divide" means to correctly interpret. And you are not correctly doing that if you think there are 2 programs for Jews and Gentiles. We are all saved by faith--and Abraham is our father of all of us if we have faith.

Wouldn't that be "rightly divine?"

I've always heard the term "divide". Perhaps I heard it wrong.

No, according to the context of the OP 'Rightly dividing the Word', it seems obvious that he is reffering to to 2 Timothy 2:15. '...rightly dividing the word of truth.'

This has to do with Hermeneutics - how to interpret the text.
