Show Notes

Fred and Arnie discuss what the Bible says about understanding it. We hear people say that they can't understand the Bible and they sometimes refer to what Peter said in 2 Peter 3:15-16. We discuss what these passages actually say. We note that the Bible was written in the common language of the day, to everyday people, not to theologians. We discuss some of the passages that say that God delivered His word to be understood and to enlighten people, to guide them. The fact that Jesus was a carpenter who ;lived in a rural village and was not a sophisticated man who had not attended the schools of higher learning of the day. We talk about what it takes to understand the Bible and note that the same things are true of understanding other things that we are interested in.
