How to Take the Bible Literally
As I begin this blogging adventure I wanted to deal with a subject that should be important to every believer. How to interpret the Bible correctly?
I read a fellow pastors blog and he referred to a recent article by a professor at IIiff School of Theology. “No one reads or interprets the Bible literally—regardless as to what they profess. To do so is simplistic, if not dangerous. All of us read our bias, our theology, and our social location into the text. There is no such thing as an objective reading; all readings are subjective.”
But wait, it gets worse.
Why I Decided to Create a Blog
There are really two reasons I wanted to post a blog from time to time. First of all I wanted to share news about what is happening at Olivet. There are certain opportunities or ministries or events that we don’t really have time to thoroughly discuss the value or hear about the great things that God is doing. Our schedule just does not allow us enough time. So I hope the blog can be a way to communicate to our church family and those not in our church families about the great things that God is doing at Olivet.
