Western Lens and Scripture
Western worldview often presumes its perspective as the objective truth, which can obscure different cultural interpretations of Scripture.
Awareness and tempering of our cultural lenses helps us understand Biblical texts as intended by their original authors.

Read Scripture Slowly and Mindfully
Read Scripture with awareness of cultural presuppositions and historical context to avoid misinterpretations.
Temper your modern Western filters rather than trying to remove them completely for clearer understanding.

Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio’s new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism, I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathers
