Let’s examine this by precept upon precept.
Men and women are not to interpret the Bible according to the culture they live in. The Word of YAH is eternal, unchanging, and above every culture. To interpret Scripture through the lens of modern society is to exalt man’s opinion above Elohim’s commandments, which is rebellion.

Conclusion
1. The Word of YAH Is Eternal — Not Subject to Time or Culture
Psalm 119:89 (KJV)
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”
Isaiah 40:8 (KJV)
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our Elohim shall stand for ever.”
➤ Culture changes. The Word never does.
2. YAH Forbids Adding to or Taking Away from His Word
Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV)
“Ye shall not add unto the word… neither shall ye diminish ought from it…”
Proverbs 30:5–6 (KJV)
“Every word of Elohim is pure… Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
➤ If you reinterpret Scripture to fit culture, you are adding to it or taking from it, which YAH condemns.
3. The Word Judges Culture — Not the Other Way Around
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
“For the word of Elohim is quick, and powerful… and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of Elohim…”
➤ The Word is not subject to human imagination or cultural norms. It is the standard that judges all things.
4. YAH’s Law Is for All Generations — Not Adjusted for the Times
Psalm 100:5 (KJV)
“For YAH is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
Malachi 3:6 (KJV)
“For I am YAH, I change not…”
➤ The commandments given in Torah, the precepts spoken by the prophets, and the words of Yahshua do not expire or evolve with the times.
5. Reinterpreting the Word by Culture Brings Destruction
Judges 17:6 (KJV)
“Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”
Jeremiah 8:9 (KJV)
“The wise men are ashamed… lo, they have rejected the word of YAH; and what wisdom is in them?”
➤ When people reject the authority of Scripture and follow culture instead, they lose their wisdom and fall under judgment.
Summary Table
| Principle | Scripture |
|---|---|
| The Word is eternal | Psalm 119:89 |
| Culture must submit to the Word | Heb. 4:12 |
| Do not add or subtract | Deut. 4:2, Prov. 30:6 |
| Truth applies to all generations | Psalm 100:5 |
| Interpreting by culture brings destruction | Judges 17:6 |
Conclusion
Both men and women are commanded to submit to the Word as it is written, without compromise. We must not let culture, emotion, or politics influence how we read or obey Scripture.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV)
“Fear Elohim, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
Any interpretation that softens the law, excuses sin, or elevates modern values above Scripture is not truth — it is rebellion.
