Given that the Bible is an authoritative text given to humanity from God to read, interpret, and apply in its entirety, we are now at the point in this journey when we ask: How can we understand what the Bible is saying?
Given that the Bible is, in some way and to some extent, an authoritative text that we ought to read frequently and intently, the next question is: What parts of the Bible should we read?
Given that the Bible has been used so often to inflict harm on people and stand in the way of justice, we might ask whether it is responsible to engage with Scripture at all.
I believe in the authority and influence of the Bible, and therefore I believe that interpretation and application of the Bible should be taken seriously and done responsibly. Unfortunately, the Traditional Plan is not the result of responsible biblical interpretation.
