Bible Question: how can we read this in a different context to explain to modern society? |
Bible Answer: Jonah2005 Thank you! You make clear a point many have being making for years. Society is always trying to make scripture conform to it rather than making the society conform to scripture. Many preachers today draw large crowds because they give the people what they "want" to hear instead of giving the people what they "need" to hear. One of the ways they do it is by dismissing politically incorrect scripture as pertaining only to the "that" society, thereby releasing the listener from conforming to the mandate of scripture. EdB |
