For those who have seriously read the Bible their are texts that seem to contradict the God of love that is revealed in Jesus Christ.
Is the Bible God? The Word of God? A long history of a people striving to understand and explain their God?
Bishop Spong defines the Bible as:
“The tribal story of a people as they walked through history,
and it is always evolving.”
The following is a video by Bishop John Spong of a book he is writing called:
THE SINS OF SCRIPTURE; SHATTERING THE TEXTS OF HATRED
IN SEARCH OF THE LOVE OF GOD.
It is good reading for any serious seeker who is trying to better understand some of the difficult passages in the Bible, many times in a humorous way. You will find insights that you haven’t found before that could lead to a better understanding of the one true creating, eternal, all loving Supreme Being.
Or, you may find that it hasn’t helped you at all and reaffirmed the faith you already have. I state no opinion. It is only what YOU find for you. -mackie
p.s. There it a question and answer period at the end.
