The Bible & Interpretation

Is the Bible true? Are the Scriptures 100% accurate? Is the written word the only way man can know of the true God? Should all believers be engaged in Biblical studies and doctrine?

Many religious Statements of Faith claim to believe and stand upon the written Word of God as the supreme authority in all matters. Many spend hours in Bible study in order to discover how they are supposed to live and exactly what they are to do or not do. Many claim that this book is the complete revelation of God to man and that it is to be obeyed in whatever it says. Many preachers and churches will hold this over people. I’ve written numerous things regarding the Bible and interpretation. I imagine that some of it may surprise you, though I hope it will all encourage you.

Random Shovelquote: Asking God to remove your sin (view all shovelquotes)

Now, if any of you are hearing this with the spirit of condemnation hanging over your head, it’s only because you’re trying to hold on to two radically different propositions at the same time. It’s like trying to travel east and west simultaneously. But trying to do the one while believing we are still doing the other is the very thing that leaves us confused and paralyzed. You see, asking God to help you to remove your sin is built upon the assumption that Jesus Christ hasn’t already done it. source
