Episode notes
Law Applicability
- None of the ancient Israelite laws apply directly today, literally.
- Modern Christians aren't ancient Israelites living in their specific cultural context.
Reference Book Approach
- Many Christians view the Bible as a divine behavior manual/rulebook/constitution.
- This approach doesn't work because the Bible is not a comprehensive guide for modern life.
Viewing Laws as Wisdom
- See laws as sources of wisdom about God and human nature.
- Reflect on their underlying principles and how Jesus applied them.
