Father, if you don't have time to preach the living word of God, that's okay. I also do social work, in which I provide ration to widows, orphans, and helpless people once a month. If you can help us in this too, you can do it too. May God bless you. I have sent pictures to your inbox. You can check them.

Father Sam warning us against our own arrogance, our ego, and against sola scriptura.

Huston Smith spoke of the Tao Te Ching being short but one can learn in an hour but still learn in a lifetime… the ‘living’ quality of sacred writing

I like that take on it. But I have to ask, why would god let what’s supposed to be our guide be ambiguous in such a way as to be able to be used for harm against others?

I’m not Catholic, and I’m not Episcopalian. On a lot of topics I’m pretty directly at odds with what I see coming out of Episcopal spaces, especially voices like Father David on TikTok. That being said, I do think your content is solid and worth engaging with. We’re coming from clearly different faith perspectives and on some topics we have fundamentally different viewpoints, but there are still a few areas where we do align. Father Sam, you actually come across as very reasonable and thoughtful, and it seems like we could have a genuinely intelligent conversation even with those differences.

Having read it all the way through now three times, what I have concluded is that it has so many layers of meaning that it would be impossible to grasp it all in one human lifetime. Even when certain types of scholars take a very narrow approach, like textual criticism, they STILL cannot come to agreement on what parts of it mean, and that approach intentionally limits how they approach it so that they can be more sure about their findings and decisions. My most recent reading through it took about a year, and I was just struck by how prevelant patriarchy is EVERYWHERE. I had read it all the way through twice before, and that hadn't struck me yet. This begs questions about what to do about that. Is it a feature or a bug? Clearly many want to make it a feature. I am now more of the thought that it's a bug largely due to our fallen human nature, inadequacies, and desperate need for control. But control of what / for what purpose? We each get 80ish years if we're lucky. Most of us spend the majority of that time toiling to make enough to care for our material needs and those of our children and families. What do we think that sense of control buys us? Who is harmed when we seek to control? When does it make sense to take control?

@Fr Sam Thankful for your insight. I grew up on conservative "reformed" protestantism, and used to be incredibly arrogant about theology. As a new Episcopalian (I'm going to be confirmed in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego next Sunday) I have found a lot of comfort in mystery. I don't have to be right about everything, nor will I ever be lol. Also hi from St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Poway, CA! The Lord be with you!

Come to scripture with an open heart, and listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying. No one person has all the answers.

Every reading is new … the variability of ‘current’ experience in each reading!!

If you can memorize Scripture and can even quote it for the most part, you therefore do know Scripture. Knowing it and actually living by it is a different story.

okay but there are things we know for sure the Bible says (ex: love one another)
