One biblical passage that seems to stump people is from Luke 16:1-14 (see below), where Jesus tells a parable of a rich man and one who was hired to manage his goods. Big Picture First we have to remember this is a parable and it is meant to convey a big picture message. The first […]
I have heard said that “knowledge puffeth up, so we should not study the Bible,” it causes pride and we should not have pride. The Bible really does say that “knowledge puffeth up”. However, this reasoning transgresses the first principle of exegesis by taking a teaching out of context. Also it is self refuting. The […]
Wow! That should get some people’s attention. But wait, the Bible does say that two places (Psalm 14; Psalm 53). Before you say something, this phrase was taken completely out of context.
