074 - Is The Bible Literal?
Is the Bible Literal?
Is the Bible literal? Should the Bible be taken literally or figuratively? Are those stories we read really events that happened? So many questions! And the more you read, the more questions you come up with!
We view God through layers of distorted lenses we have picked up over the course of our lives. This week we are talking about how to unlearn what we think we know about God. We discuss how when reading the bible, often times we unknowingly lean on the information we have already been taught. This leads to confirmation bias and robs us of gaining a newer, deeper, or even more truthful understanding of scripture. We view God through layers of distorted lenses we have picked up over the course of our lives.
Judaism is a religion that thrives on personal understanding and contemplative thought around their scripture. Sadly, we are a culture of Black and White thinking and we have carried the mentality into our religion. When we realize that most of what we read was much more open to interpretation, it unlocks a level of Spiritual life that is so far beyond what we limit ourselves to. Don’t believe us? Then just how do you think we created so many different translations from the same original texts?
