In this episode we're discussing how we were brought up to view and read the Bible versus how the early church fathers and thoughtful theologians interpret(ed) it. It makes a big difference in understanding that Jesus truly is the picture of a loving, kind and good Father who doesn't wipe out (or ask us to wipe out) his enemies! We also touch on why a misunderstanding of the Bible leads to twisted doctrines and theology.
(Please note: We are OBVIOUSLY not theologians, scholars or historians. Please have some grace as we discuss and figure out these things while on our journey because I guarantee we will get some facts or history wrong, but we are continually working it out as we learn how to study and research biblical history and get to know God more. Thanks!)
