Many people read the bible... many people study it... but few truly understand. MY purpose today is to explain how attitude can help or hinder a persons level of biblical understanding.We must come to the bible with respect and humility.Respect: 1) to admire a person or thing for it's abilities, qualities, achievements 2) positive feelings for something you consider important 3) politeness, honor, and care shown towards someone or something that is considered important. Humility: 1) the feeling or attitude that you have no special importance that makes you better than others; lack of pride. 2) Recognition of self in relation to a deity [YHWH the creator]Without the right approach we may still be able to discern certain biblical truths on a limited level... but at the same time suffer huge blind spots with regard to God's revelation to us. For example: some people latch on to "the Torah" and develop a reverence for God's commands but seem to miss out on God's plan of salvation and get caught up in Jewish traditions, whereas others, only want to talk about Jesus' on the cross but miss out on God's call to obedience and get caught up in human philosophies/traditions.
