       Most of us want to understand the Scriptures in our daily walks. There are a whole slew of books that can try to give us insight—there is no shortage in that department. A lot of them actually will help us. We can even go so far as to learn Greek or Hebrew so that we can further understand the Scriptures in their original text. Most of us aren’t going to go that far, though. In fact, I’ve never usually cared to go that far. I mean, after all, if we have the Bible in English, isn’t that good enough? If the English version isn’t accurate, then what’s the point of it? Wouldn’t it be a sin to read it in the first place? I think the original languages argument often shuts off the Scriptures to being capable of only being understood by an elite few. Sounds familiar from negative past church history, doesn’t it? One method that can greatly help us understand the Scriptures, and it’s one that anyone can do, is simply to reverse the verse in question in order to get the other side of it. It’s a simple and easy method that requires no in-depth schooling. Anyone can do it.
