==The Biblical warrant for hermeneutics==
Because eternal life comes from and through Jesus ([[Joh 14:6]], [[Joh 17:3]]), one some may be tempted to say that they know Jesus, and therefor do not need to read or understand the Bible. But many who '''believed they knew Jesus''' will be turned away. ([[Mt 7:23]])
Among those who studied the scriptures diligently were the scribes and Pharisees. Using the methods of human hermeneutics they missed the point of the scriptures. ([[Joh 5:39]]} ) He rebuked the most educated religious scholars for a single error of doctrine which revealed that they did not know the scriptures nor the power of God. ([[Mt 22:29]], [[Mr 12:24]]) They mistakenly believed that there was marriage in heavenbecause they did not know how to read the scriptures properly. ([[Mt 22:30]], [[Mr 12:25]]) One who believes that the marriage of the Lamb is after the resurrection or in heaven ([[Re 19:7]], [[Re 19:9]]) may wish to learn to read the scriptures properly.
After following Jesus for three years, even the disciples did not understand the scriptures. ([[Lu 24:27]], [[Lu 24:32]]), but required that he reteach it to them after the resurrection ([[Lu 24:45]]).
Proper hermeneutics were taught by the apostles, and that teaching is contained in the New Testament scriptures. From the prophets and the apostles we can learn to read the scriptures properly, especially when that teaching is accompanied by the Holy Ghost. ([[Jas 1:5]])
