Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
In this City Rev Life podcast episode, Pastor Robey Barnes and Pastor Jon Elswick explore the significance of interpreting the Bible metaphorically and literally within its historical context. They discuss examples such as Jonah and the Whale, the parting of the Red Sea, and the walls of Jericho as guides for interpretation. The conversation also touches on the divine interaction of the supernatural with the natural, challenges in understanding passages like Genesis 1, and the potential for misinterpretation when taking texts literally. Emphasizing discernment, they discuss prophetic revelation and the complexities of interpreting eschatological texts. They advocate for communal reading and recommend resources like the ESV Study Bible and New Bible Dictionary for deeper understanding.
