@curiousdannii I noticed someone (I assume yourself) downvoted a question from last year regarding Sensus Plenior. It was in the 'Vote to Close' queue and I also down-voted it. I didn't agree at all with the concept.I found it altogether spooky. Allegorical meaning is one thing but I cannot accept the other.

I just discovered this gem : 21 ¶ And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

Each word has multiple meanings in Hebrew sleep also means death *Adam* also means man and he is a type of Christ rib means limping and side, etc.

When the double entendre is read it says:

And God caused the man to die and he died; and he married a certain limping side and delivered mankind.
====================The first two lines there are scripture. The rest is an 'explanation' of Sensus Plenior (supposedly). The writer is using the fact of Hebrew homonyms to make a 'second meaning' which is not valid. The homonym means either one thing or another depending on context. This concept is nonsense. <<< Is this genuinely what Sensus Plenior means ?? >>>>>>>>

@NigelJ Who can say what it "genuinely" means. It's the label that's been claimed by its proponents though.
