The bible is ours to understand! We finally kicked off the half-hour podcast! Today we will start with some foundations on biblical interpretation and why it’s important.

Three Elements of Interpretation | Episode G | Straight Outta Context

Posted on June 8, 2018June 8, 2018 by James

The Bible is the ONLY way to know God! Interpreting Scripture is not an easy task but with several KEY elements guiding our minds when reading, we can rest assured we are not going to make grave errors. The ORIGINAL meaning is what we should be looking for in the Bible, not “our” meaning. Of…

God Is Only Found in Scripture | Episode F | Straight Outta Context

Posted on May 23, 2018 by James

The Bible is the ONLY way to know God! This podcast will emphasize the vital truth that Scripture alone can reveal God. In our day many people claim to know the God of the Bible but they refuse to accept what Scripture teaches about Him and His works. This is absurd. We appreciate your listening…

Distant Days and Lands | Preview Episode E

Posted on May 9, 2018May 9, 2018 by James

Time machines are not available… So we’ll just have to use what we have. While not a necessary ‘tool’ in our belt for interpretation, knowing and realizing that the bible is an OLD set of writings is imperative.

Error of Commanding the Narrative | Preview Episode D

Posted on April 24, 2018May 9, 2018 by James

WWJD is not the answer! Narratives tell what happened, they don’t always tell us what we are to do. When we apply narratives wrongly we can actually cause people to walk in sin out of ignorance and worse, even hurt their fellow man. This podcast will talk about this error and give a few examples such as…

Reading vs Interpreting Scripture | A Few Short Thoughts Primer

Posted on April 11, 2018October 11, 2022 by James

Interpreting Scripture Well, as you know the Bible can be intimidating and at times we can read something within the pages and wonder what we have seen as if it were in another language. While this is true, I believe it stems from the error of thinking that we have to “interpret” every portion of…

The Error of Personalizing Scripture | Straight Outta Context

Posted on April 5, 2018 by James
