For those who say studying things like hermeneutics is a waste of time, consider the following story in the Daily Record (UK). Click here: The Daily Record - NEWS - MIRACLE IS SUNK

A PRIEST has died after trying to demonstrate how Jesus walked on water.
Evangelist preacher Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle.
But he drowned after walking out to sea from a beach in the capital Libreville in Gabon, west Africa.
One eyewitness said: "He told churchgoers he'd had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus.
"He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat.
"He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back."

I know I should be saddened at the man's death, but there is a certain sense in which we must realize that our actions do have consequences, even our misreading of Scripture.
