Bible Question: What is the best way to reach(or bring them to Christ) someone who does not take the Bible literaly? |
Bible Answer: Show this person that we should take the Bible literally because Jesus Christ also took the Bible literally. Anytime Jesus quoted from the Old Testament, it was always clear that He was taking it literally. When Jesus was tempted by Satan in Luke 4, Jesus answered and quoted the Old Testament. It is clear from the context that He took the Bible literally. The disciples took the commands of Christ literal as well. Jesus commanded the disciples to go and make more disciples in Matthew 28:19-20. In Acts 2 and following, we see that the disciples took Jesus' command literally and went throughout the world preaching the Gospel of Christ. Now, just because you take the Bible literally does not mean that there are not figures of speech in the Bible. The Bible does have figures of speech. |
