The Bible is the Truth. But reading the Bible is not what people need.

It seems like it would be, but that’s exactly what gets most folks into the mess they find themselves mired in spiritually speaking.

We are the problem and reading the Bible is not going to fix us because while it contains the solutions, we cannot implement them.… We cannot implement them because we cannot understand them.

Most people have been trained from childhood to interpret what they read in the Bible through their own personal perspective. We have been taught doctrine, tradition, custom, and programmed to filter all we read in Scripture through those ideas.

What comes out the other side is one thing for one person and a different thing for another but the personal mind is the only filter.

Because the Bible is the source of authority, however, this lends credibility to biased beliefs when the private ideas were found in the Good Book and filtered through personal prejudice.

The Bible has the answers but first the reader must learn to ask honest questions. Till then the reading only spreads ruin.

Second Guess First Assumptions

Question Everything
