What Is the Moral Sense of the Bible?
Origen says we should approach the bible as body, soul and spirit. The moral sense is a fulfilment of second timothy three where it says all scriptures are given by inspiration of god. On the road to emmaus, jesus showed his disciples how all the law and the prophets point to him. That's the spiritual sense. We need to go ask, how does the story of joseph point to jesus? How does the exodus point to JESUS? And that's kind how i approach scripture to day. I think most orthodox would see it this way, but i'm going to be a biblicist for a moment."
