Interpreting Accurately the Conversation of God's Speech
through Revelation of his Word
Let us begin with an exercise in interpretation. Describe the details of this picture from what you presently know as a referee at the game. Does the count as three points or is it rejected as 1 point? Are you sure of your answer? Is there a piece of information in the picture that might more accurately change your understanding? [Hint: This picture is actually on a soccer field]. People make decisions about what they see and hear based upon what they know with their present understanding (John 3:31-36; 12:34). Do people in the Bible change their understanding about God's speech when more light is given (Acts 17:11; 18:23-28)? Are you interpreting the play-by-play of the Bible on the right field?

Myths
Myths consist of earthly focused philosophical and theological claims, which God has not spoken in his word-speech. These are commonly accepted as warrants among some people to flatten heavenly truth for correspondence with errant (supposed) earthly promises applied by adherents either alone or in a group over other people not in their group (Matt 24:4-12; cf. Col 2:8). Each listed myth links to related biblical conversation in the material below concerning God's speech about the ability of Christ to bring all things to himself in heaven.
- Myth: The visible sense creation is all that God has ever created and serves as the background for all biblical narrative.
