1. A response to the interpretation of Acts 4:32-36 as an endorsement of a type of communal life as normative for the Christian Church.a. What rule of interpretation was broken, ignored or violated? The rule of biblical interpretation that has been broken here is that no doctrine should be based entirely on one passage of Scripture from the Bible. Along with this, no verse or phrase can or should have a meaning when isolated that it would not have if kept in its original context. What rule of interpretation should be followed? The rule of biblical interpretation that has not been followed and should have been is that when such a contradiction appears, the emphasis should be placed only on the multiple clear passages rather than on an isolated passage. and obscure. The sole basis for establishing a doctrine cannot be based on the historical occurrence of an event. Just as the original intention of the author must be the only valid interpretation of a passage of Scripture.c. Which interpretation of this passage would be most biblically accurate? The author of this passage was Luke and he had many reasons to write about it, but it was not as an endorsement of a type of community life to be considered normative for the Christian Church. not one of those reasons. One of the reasons Luke wrote this passage was to express how the apostles and the rest of the Church differed greatly in their giving from the way Ananias and Sapphira did. Ananias and Sapphira gave selfishly by giving only part of the money they received from the sale of their lands, while the apostles and the rest of the Church gave generously by giving all the money they had. “That is, if they... middle of paper ...... eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life in you" (John 6:53 NLT), this must have been very shocking for them to hear. In this passage, John was simply trying to illustrate that Jesus sustains his believers spiritually, just as water and food sustain him physically. “It is his flesh and blood that gives eternal life to those who choose to receive salvation. For the life of the creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for life” (Leviticus 17:11 NIV). The phrase eat your flesh has been commonly used to mean putting your faith in Christ. No doctrine or practice should ever be considered biblical unless it has been summarized and actually includes everything the Scriptures have said about it..
