Description

A message about how to understand the bible starting with motivations for wanting to read the bible in the first place. Then I address biases, baggage, and issues with each person's perspective that can shade learning. Logical fallacies are defined, discussed, and a couple examples given showing how these flaws in reasoning can cause us to go off the rails when reading scripture. The canon of scripture is addressed as well as mechanisms for avoiding ridiculous doctrines. More info and messages like this can be found at https://firstcenturychristianity.net/
