@fr.sam48: Stop saying you did not take the Bible literally if you are earnestly trying to understand what it says and patterning your life after the precepts therein. Do not concede that vocabulary to people who couldn't tell you the context of anything in the Good Book. #biblestudy #biblicalliteralism #followjesus #Scripture #christiantok
I personally believe faith should be personal and private. I'm not against churches or gatherings to share in those spiritual moments and such. As it stands in the U.S. at least, the only references to the Bible at all are by those who are unarguably the most evil among us using the Bible as a social shield to defend their hate and vitriol. My point is that it's hard to think anything positive about anyone discussing a Bible outside someone with a collar.

I love your accent. Your cadence and gentle twinge of deep-southern vowels is …soothing in some way.

This is one of the MANY reasons we should never ever make a givernment run off biblical based law, because no one person or even group of people fully understand the bible or cam apply it correctly.

Learned a term this week called, “The seventy faces of Torah.” That’s how I take it. Each stroll through, I’m looking for the faces.

This is brilliantly challenging. I’m afraid I routinely use the ‘literally/seriously’ distinction… now I need to think about how we might actually reclaim the word ‘literally’. Thanks, I think! 🙄

We come from a rich tradition of petty and heated arguments and evangelicals tell me I can’t argue with the Bible?? When I was a kid I wanted to go to heaven to argue with God. Now that’s Christianity!

My church calls me Jacob/Isreal because I wrestler with the text but with every part of faith. I leave no stone unturned. What are our assumptions? What are we missing because we've heard it so often? It is tiring. I sometimes wish I had the sound unwavering faith of some of the others in our group. My philosophy of religion undergrad may be a part of it...
