How did you grow up hearing about the Bible, if you heard about it at all? What was your frame of reference for the Scriptures? Do you think it is appropriate to wrestle with the text, or is it, "the Bible says it, that settles it" mentality? And finally, what do we mean when we say the Bible is inspired? all of this is discussed in this episode of the Belfast Podcast. But first, a brief talk about current social and political events in the first half of 2020, because it's been that long between episodes!

0:00-31:00 Dimitry and I start off with a short discussion of current social events in the U.S. since our last recording. 

31:00-45:00 We talk about our growing up experiences with the Bible. 

45:00-1:06:00 We go back and forth about recent challenges we have had in reading the scriptures as well as what it means to say the Bible is "inspired".
