Ep. 5: A Double-Edged Sword
The Bible, a sacred text for billions, has been both a beacon of hope and a tool of oppression. In this episode, we explore this duality. We’ll delve into the countless acts of love and justice inspired by its teachings, from the founding of hospitals to the fight for human rights.
However, we’ll also confront the darker side: how the Bible has been used to justify hatred, violence, and persecution. We’ll discuss how to discern between faithful and harmful interpretations and encourage listeners to use the Bible as a tool for good, not evil.
