The way to ignore the message of a text is to give inadequate implementation. It is a neo Marcionism which removes some of the message of the Bible via your account, hence we use the word so strong "heresy." The application of the biblical text is summarized in two sentences "Show who is God and what God does, and say what man is and what should be and do." Of course, this general principle to the pulpit, there is a gap that is filled with almost anything.
One way to complicate the matter is to discuss whether or not we take principles of Scripture. Of course you can get early, the point is if they actually come from Scripture or not. Usually, what people call preconceived ideas or principles are in the best spiritualization of what the text says, which innocently leaves out its true message.
For example, one can preach on the passage of the Israelites by the Red Sea (Ex. 14), and apply "what are the obstacles in your life." Sounds good, talk about the "red sea of \u200b\u200byour life", but actually the implementation of the text is primarily concerned with the obstacles of one's life. Bible study indicates that the text is talking about "the redemption of God to his people which manifests itself in times of crisis for his obedience." Like is not the same, because look at the obstacle of the Red Sea is a generalization of an idea of \u200b\u200bthe passage. The text and its context speak of God's deliverance his people, their loyalty and their demonstration when the people are in crisis due to obey God.
Another case is that of David and Goliath (1 Sam 17), which applies saying "what are the giants in your life." Again, sounds good, but the passage is much richer than that. It is "faith in God a man who acted risking everything, when the reputation of the God of Israel was challenged ." Again, the widespread notion, embracing the obvious, "the giants, "causes you to lose the valuable part of the story. The text speaks of God's reputation defended by the young David, who in the great national context reminds the people to defend their faith and national identity against the powerful nations have a spiritual background, and history is in the example of one of their kings, David.
a young man heard another kind of messages, which are applied on the basis of a nice idea whose origin is a contemporary principle. Can be found in the Bible but not necessarily the pivot point of the passage. For example, the beautiful idea "do not sacrifice the permanent on the altar of the immediate" using the story of Esau preferred dish of lentils (Genesis 27). Surely this idea is part of what the Bible says of Esau, but more important is that Esau was a strong man, without faith, without feeling any living God. The context of the passage explains why, her mother had coached both boys for cheating, becoming the blessing of the firstborn in a robbery, which explains the name Jacob, the impostor. The schemes are part of Jacob's long narrative about his life and God's dealings with him in the rest of Genesis, where Jacob is drinking sips of his own medicine.
What does this suggest? Weak enforcement is the result of a weak interpretation Bible. Application is to hurry, without making the effort required to understand the text and context. Therefore, the application ends without observation and interpretation of God taking away the people he wanted to say something to his people but not because, as Jacob says, supplanted the truth for a half-truth. The heresy of the application lies not in teaching but in hiding truths that ultimately takes the food to the people of God. The narrative has great lessons to be discovered.
