Unlocking Scripture Pt2
- Welcome!
- The Christocentric Hermeneutic. What is it?
- Everything in the Old Testament and the New Testament must be looked at through the lens of Christ.
- The Bible can be understood better through the teachings of Christ
- Jesus constantly corrected interpretations
- If we ignore Jesus when studying the rest of the Bible, we will most likely have a misinterpretation.
- Doctrinal Text (The Epistles) are only good if we study them through the lens of Christ.
- John 5:36 (The Scriptures testify about Christ)
- Why would you want the shadow when you can have reality?
- The C-R-A-C-K-E-D acronym
- Context – Reliability – Author’s Intent – Credibility – Knit Together – Early Meaning and Manuscript – Dialect
BIBLE CONTRADICTION
- If God is a jealous god, how can he be loving?
- 1 John 4:8 and 1 Corinthians 13:4 vs Exodus 34:14
LISTENER QUESTION
- I’ve been getting into the left behind series. In the first book all the people who are good Christians and have a strong enough faith vanish to heaven. Those who weren’t are left to face the Antichrist and seven years of tribulation. My question is if it really is a prophecy in the bible that some people will disappear, or will everyone have to face the end times when they come?
