Bible Question: What would happen if we took the Sermon on the Mount Literally? |
Bible Answer: Hello SAKII, Welcome to the forum. Are you asking: a. What would happen if we read the Greek text? b. What would happen if we read the English text without any understanding of its rhetorical, theological, or historical base? c. What would happen if we tore Matthew 5-7 out of our Bibles and carried in our pockets? d. What would happen if we practiced the teaching of the sermon without its Biblical context? Shall I go on? I am being a bit obtuse in order to help you see that the question can go multiple ways. And I assume you have an answer in mind already. Steve |
