"It is not the Bible which divides us but what we bring to the Bible. We come with our minds already conditioned, and in the words of God we still hear the echo of our own. We fail to listen to God in our obsession with our own thoughts." Myron S. Augsburger *This is especially harmful if...

There are definite rules for biblical interpretation and a couple of articles illustrate this well: From an article found in the 1952 RSV, "Method and Procedure of Revision": "A recent speaker has told of a project to issue 'a theologically conservative translation of the Bible.' Doubtless this...

It is human nature, that any of us who have studied the Bible for any length of time, develop our own Systematic Theology, maybe gained from one source or several sources. Then, we will tend to interpret a passage so that it fits our already believed System of Theology. Don't we all risk doing...

I support fully so much of the policy decisions President Trump has made and put into effect. I voted for him in 2016 and 2020 and also supported his Presidential run with money. His narcissism in the past I attributed to a sense of humor that was geared to tweak and arouse the anger of...

I debated where to place this, but since it comes from Bible study, I'm posting it here. I have been asked a young Japanese man who is Buddhist, to tell him about the Bible and the Christian faith. The following is what I emailed him. I know I've missed some key points I should have included...

The men writing the NT books did not put dates on them. Some contain enough in the body of text that a date of writing can be confidently accepted. Others have quite large variance in scholar's ideas of the date of writing. If the NT writers did not give a date, then there must be some key...
