This is a very basic subject to our foundational understanding of the Word of God. However, it is a subject that has caused a lot of division and misunderstandings from just about every group to handle the Bible. So, what are some beginning guidelines for understanding the scriptures? Can we be expected to “rightly handle the word of truth” as Paul exhorts Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:15? We encourage you to listen to and comment on this very important discussion.

This could be a much larger discussion, but for now, we will focus on three main ways to look at a scripture.

1) How does a passage fit into the Bible sequence?

2) Do you see God’s Word as fully inspired or written by men to the culture they were part of?

3)How does the Bible interpret itself?
