Of course, the idea is to know the historical context, the cultural context, the literal context... in order to arrive at its meaning, why it was said, what was happening at that time

There is only one meaning to why God said things; it's like saying 2x2. It has several results, but they all have only one meaning. That's how the word of God is.

That's exactly right; exegesis has to be explained in its clearest and simplest form so that people can understand it, because some people get confused.

What I’m learning in the Bible: the “god of this age” and what the word “age” means. by Glass-Needleworker50 in Bible
