We’re going to talk about the B.I.B.L.E. and discuss whether it’s the book for us. Where’d it come from? Is it truth? What is truth? Then we get deeper and deeper. Come follow along as we try to figure this out.
What’s the deal with the Bible? -
Deconstructing is now a “thing”
Reconstruction is also important
The 3 ‘I’s of scripture -
Inspired, Infallible, Inerrant

Jeremiah
Luke
Jude 14-15
1 Enoch

The Sacredness of Scripture -

A Toxic Relationship With the Bible -
Putting too much of our faith on the 3 ‘I’s can cause it all to crash down
The through-line of the Bible is the important thing
Coming to terms with imperfection is important
Differently Important -
Looking for the Truths instead of the Rules
From milk to meat - 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
We want to stay with “incorrect vs. correct” but the Bible is pulling us in a different direction
Jesus taught in this direction - Matthew
It’s not about the rule, it’s about your heart and a relationship with God
