The Bible Isn't a Weapon (It's a Mirror)

from Rethink Faith with Nelson Jackson III · host Nelson Jackson III

Are you using the Bible as a weapon against others instead of a mirror for yourself? This is the most dangerous spiritual mistake we can make—and it's keeping us trapped in condemnation instead of walking in restoration.In this episode, I break down the #1 biblical mistake that even mature believers make: reading Scripture AT others instead of FOR ourselves. The Bible isn't a weapon to judge and condemn—it's a tool for OUR transformation and spiritual growth.Most of us have been taught to read the Bible with one eye on everyone else's sin. We've turned Scripture into ammunition for arguments, a measuring stick for judgment, and a weapon to point at others.
