When A Literal Interpretation Of The Bible Is Abandoned, The End Result Is Replacement Theology
Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation. When most readers open a newspaper or book, they assume the author intends for them to understand what he is saying. They also instinctively assume that, to understand what the author is saying, they must use a literal, or normal, hermeneutic: They must interpret the text literally or naturally, unless the context indicates otherwise. Interpreting the Bible is no different. The goal is to understand what the human author, as he was moved by the Holy Spirit, intended to say. We do so by using a literal hermeneutic (even with passages dealing with end-times prophecies), unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Funeral the Cameras Missed: How Iranians Really Marked Khamenei’s Death
IRAN — The world watched Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s funeral from above. Aerial shots of packed Tehran streets, interviews with weeping loyalists, breathless dispatches from Western social media influencers — this was the story beamed around the globe. But the real story of the late Iranian supreme leader’s send-off was unfolding just outside the frame, in the tens of millions of Iranians who simply weren’t there. Press outlets around the world reported this week that millions attended the funeral, a figure that has never been independently verified. The more revealing question, though, is not how many filled the streets — it is how many did not, and why. Tehran itself supplied the answer. As the mourning rituals got underway, the roads leading out of the capital clogged with traffic, not into it. “It is a holiday, and we are happy to leave Tehran and the funeral of a dictator behind and have fun for a while,”

‘Blessing What God Calls Sin’: American Denomination Endorses Sex-Change Procedures for Minors
In yet another significant move to the theological left, America’s largest Presbyterian denomination voted decisively to endorse sex-change operations for minors. Critics called the move just the latest evidence the Presbyterian Church (USA) has truly “lost its compass.” In a 441-30 vote, PCUSA delegates passed GEN-02, … “Gender-affirming care,” the rationale reads, “is age-appropriate care that is medically necessary and evidence based for the well-being of many transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people who experience symptoms of gender dysphoria or distress that result from having one’s gender identity not match their sex assigned at birth.” It further argues that transgender-related procedures are “critical health services.”
