Episode notes
Flawed Biblical Interpretation Logic
- Allie Beth Stuckey claims everything in the Bible is what Jesus taught because Jesus is God.
- Dan Miller explains this is a flawed theological approach not supported by classical Protestantism.
Consequences of Literal Biblical Reading
- Accepting Stuckey's view commits Jesus to endorsing problematic biblical violence and misogyny.
- This exposes the danger of equating all scripture as direct teachings of Jesus.

- Conservative Christians often confuse biblical descriptions with prescriptions.
- They selectively apply narrative passages as normative, ignoring others like communal sharing or turning the other cheek.
