What The Bible Says. Fortnightly bible study. Episode 25 - 10/03/23 This week we look at how to study the bible - is there a right or wrong way? Universal Responsibility: The study of the Bible is meant for everyone, not just a select few. All believers are called to understand and apply God's word in their lives, reflecting a personal responsibility in engaging with scripture. Historical Challenges and Access: Historically, access to the Bible was limited, with translations in Latin and restricted to the clergy. Figures like William Tyndale made significant sacrifices to translate the Bible into common languages, allowing broader access. Jesus and Scripture: Jesus emphasized the importance of knowing and believing the scriptures. He opened the understanding of his disciples, showing that all scripture points to Him and that understanding the Bible is essential to avoid error. Practical Engagement: Believers are encouraged to internalize and discuss scripture in everyday life, similar to how Jesus conducted a Bible study with his disciples on the road. This continual engagement strengthens faith and understanding. Old Testament Relevance: The Old Testament remains relevant and foundational, as Jesus and the New Testament writers frequently referenced it. Some modern believers dismiss it, but Jesus affirmed its importance, and it is critical for a complete understanding of the faith.
