Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
It is a very sad day indeed to see adult people still feeding upon the milk of the word, especially claiming to have spent years growing in Jesus.
(1) Measure truth using big and little marks..
Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Here in this verse are many Hebrew words that mean "marks" like on a "ruler". The measursement we have in mind is lined up with the big marks and little marks on the ruler.
When you measure something you start from a fixed known mark and measure from big marks and little marks until your object is judged by the big and little marks on your measuring standard. Thus when measuring any object, your need a standard and big and little marks that all must line up with what you're measuring.
Here we see another poetry picture simile.
When you compare "line" upon "line" these lines are "lines of Hebrew" and we are told to "line up" every verse in the Holy Writings with other verses that speak of the same Hebrew word.
This poetry picture simile means to look up all references on whatever measuring of a word topic your studying and compare everything with that topic with everything Scripture has to say about that topic. That makes logic sense.
But you will NOT do this if you assume Hebrew words have different meaning depending upon context, thus other sentences of context will tell you nothing about what the Hebrew word means. Thus you have become biased and blind in how the Holy Writings says to read the "lines" upon "lines".
Of course if you wanted to make a biased assessment, you would deliberately avoid other "lines" and choose the ones you want to exaggerate because you have some agenda already in mind.
Thus highlighting one text over another, you can make any measuring of truth look towards your viewpoint.
The Holy Writings says instead, to look at all the "lines" on a topic before making a conclusion.
(2) Build truth from the standard of Jesus.
Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
When you read any measuring topic against the "lines of Hebrew", always cross reference the "lines" back to the chief corner stone, who is called Jesus. Since the Scripture Torah was written with Jesus in mind, it makes sense that every topic should be related to Jesus in some way.
Thus the Holy Writings should be Christ centered.
Here we see another poetry picture simile. When building a building from stone, each stone is aligned back to the corner stone, so the message of the wall is straight true and without error.
(3) Plumb the truth against the judgement of other marks.
The "plummet" was a "weighted mark" used to make a building go up straight and true, that all the building blocks under study were found aligning themselves to the truth of the measurement.
Isa 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet:
Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Various building poetry pictures are presented here, all giving the simile of measuring truth, is found by measuring truth against all the big and little marks found on the topic of study. The message is study everything on the subject, not just here and there. Look up every reference. Than plumb the new theory of faith with the older known theories of faith, so we do not disregard the old building blocks in our wall of truth.
(4): Plough deeply until ... straight, soft and humble...
Isa 28:23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
Plough deeply the Holy Writings, break down every clod into Hebrew meaning, and make sure you have the fine tithe of meaning, pure, uncluttered and unbiased. Ploughing removes the pride from our soils, so the tilth is soft enough for others to receive. Ploughing develops the humilty required to be our brother's keeper.
(5): Beware of the traditions of men..the false prophets..
