The Golden Rule of Interpretation Dr. David L. Cooper, was the founder of the Biblical Research Society and he stated the following... When the plain sense of scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise. In other words... A. Seek the plain, literal meaning of the Scriptures B. Seek the figurative meaning only when the facts demand such an interpretation C. Study every statement of the Scriptures in context (A TEXT APART FROM ITS CONTEXT IS A PRETEXT)
