PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN<br />

When early church communes were destroyed by Ananias ans Saphiras new accomodated<br />

steps were taken. Church communities developed, the communion became just symbolic<br />

piece of bread and spoonful of wine. Worship methods changed, Church functioning changed.<br />

Canon was closed yet revelations came in progressive manner. New Revelations came and it<br />

still is coming. The basic tenents of faith are fixed, but we are still knowing God in increasing<br />

details and one day we we will behold him face to face. The learning process still continues<br />

into the ages to come.<br />

While every part of the Bible is holy and inspired and binding to the people to whom it was<br />

given, some parts of Scripture no longer apply for those mature Christians who have<br />

advanced into spiritual adulthood in Christ. This is the simple teaching of the apostle Paul.<br />

This is the simple progessive revelation coupled with accomodative revelation.<br />
