This is posed for people who read and understand the Bible. I need some advice. It has been said that the Old Testament advocates archaic laws, slavery, killing your children who speak against you, etc.. What is your intepretation of these ancient issues? Do you believe the Bible is outdated, and it is up to modern interpretation, or do these notions have some symbolic meaning? What is your take? What should I take from the Bible? It is an intimidating text with so many interpretations. Sometimes I feel that fire of the Holy Spirit, and sometimes I fear the flame. I am Episcopalian and I have both the KJV and NKJV. Are there any study guides that are not so conservative in their views and geared toward Episcopals? I am a former Catholic and as you know Catholics rely mainly on the priests for Bible interpretation-- one of the reasons I left Catholicism. Any wisdom on these issues?
Joe can you tell me where these are in the Bible and I will be more than happy to help you with them. Or are these things you have heard. I recognize some of what you speak but, just as Satan wants us to do dont just read that verse. Read what is said before it and what is said after it. I can tell you the Bible advocates reincarnation. Where Jesus says one must be born again. But without the things said prior to that and after that would be a huge contradiction in the Bible. If you are having trouble understanding the Bible you need to be in prayer about it. God will open youre eyes and heart if you are truly sincere. Amen and Peace out..................
