The Inevitability of Reading the Bible Creatively

There will be no new episodes in january. But you know what? We do that on purpose. It's almost inevitable that you will read your own context into the bible. That is something the ancient world would not have shared. They would have looked at historical accuracy and said, ok, that's great, but you're sacrificing relevancy. What is god saying to us now? Not just back of that, we have a perfectionistic religion where it's all or nothing. If we can't have absolutes, it's worth nothing - which i think is just not how the world works.
