comment How do I find out when a Bible passage applies to me?
Jack - this is great, thank you for taking the time to craft such a nice answer. I want to keep it open just to encourage any other answers but if not will accept this, much appreciated and worth more than points!

comment How do I find out when a Bible passage applies to me?
ok thank you, slightly confusing but I think I get it...it seems the premise of most preachers sermons are to just take passages out like this and apply them to the peoples lives..so that is why I ask. According to your points though that may not always be the correct way to preach, unless the passage is carefully examined for a connection to our lives if we are in Christ....

thanks for updating with a definition of historical horizon. However, I disagree that the Bible can not address new things. Some go to the point of showing that they are supported by the Bible, for example Neuroplasticity and faith or the metaphysical world and the spiritual world.

wow, very eye opening! this is more along the lines with what I am trying to get at, thank you. I wonder if there is really anything objective in the Bible except for a view of it in history. btw what is a definition of "historical horizon"? can't seem to find one...thank you.

sort of....but it is more than just meaning...or more like there is wisdom here or life changing power for one person in this text and not for someone else. or this text is dead to someone, won't mean anything to them, they are blind to it even if they read it and to someone else it can open a new world...it is hard to explain. I'll try to think of an example. (it makes sense in my head! haha)
