Does The Meaning of a Biblical Passage Ever Change?
Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything (2 Timothy 2:7).
God wrote the Bible so we could understand it. It is the foundation for all truth, and its meaning never changes. The meaning of a passage is what an author original indented to communicate when he first wrote it. That meaning does not change because it is permanently set in history and cannot be altered.
Readers of the Bible cannot create the meaning of a biblical passage but discover it within the words of the text. By the Holy Spirit, we can rightly understand what the authors of the Bible originally meant, although this can take hard work. While we can grow in our understanding of Scripture, meaning always stays the same.
Scripture 1.9.
