Exploring the Holy Scriptures, free from theology and church traditions

Isaiah 8:20 To the Torah and to the Testimony!
If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light to them†

Rom 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our instruction,
that through patience and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

2Ti 3:16-17 All Scripture is written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
so that the man of Elohim may be perfected, and complete for every good work.

Peter warns us regarding understanding Paul's writings,
2Peter 3:15-17 And consider the long-suffering of YAHWEH to be our redemption, as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, in which some things are hard to understand, which those that are ignorant and unstable pervert their meaning, as also they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. Therefore beloved, since you know these things beforehand, guard yourself, lest being led away by the error of the lawless you fall from your own steadfastness.

William Millar's Rules for Biblical Interpretation.

• All Scripture is necessary, and may be understood by diligent application and study
  2 Timothy 3:15-17.
• Every word must have it’s proper bearing on the subject presented in the Bible
  Matthew 5:18.
• Scripture must be it’s own expositor, since it is a rule of itself. If I depend on a teacher to explain it to me, and he should guess at it's meaning, or desire to have it so on account of his sectarian creed, or to be thought wise, then his guessing, desire, creed, or wisdom is my rule, not the Bible.
  Psalm 19:7-11; 119:97-105; Matthew 23:8-10; 1 Cor 2:12-16; Ezekiel 34:18, 19; Luke 11:52; Malachi 2:7, 8.
• “To understand doctrine, bring all the Scriptures together on the subject you wish to know; then let every word have it’s proper influence, and if you can form your theory without a contradiction, you cannot be in an error .”
  Isaiah 28:7-29; 35:8; Proverbs 19:27; Luke 24:27, 44, 45; James 5:19; 2 Peter 1:19, 20.
