Trailer | S5: Ep 12 | Tim Barnett | Are Faith and Reason at Odds?

Scripture Untangled

I mean, people will say, well, do you take the Bible literally? And my question is, well, which parts you know? Because if you mean like, well, then Jesus is a door. Like He is a wood door or He's a vine. Okay? Well, do you think He's a stick? No. Of course you're gonna... this is so important. We always read the Bible in context. We have a little aphorism we use. We say, never read a Bible verse. Never read a Bible verse. What do we mean? We're not saying don't read the Bible. We're saying, just don't read a single verse without looking at the context - the verses before and after the paragraph, the chapter, even the vibe, the book inside the Bible, as the context dictates. So, it's really important that we understand what it is we're reading. I think this is where Christians get all mixed up.
