Answering BIBLICAL TEACHING IS CULTURALLY DETERMINED

Episode Summary: One of the arguments your family is hearing this summer is that the biblical teaching about gender and gender roles reflects the oppressive patriarchy of the OT culture as well as Paul’s patriarchal, abusive views of women. Paul and the OT, it is argued, also reflect unenlightened, culturally determined views of homosexuality as sinful and gender as binary. This argument is leading many of the rising generation down the path towards Progressive Christianity, which rejects so many biblical truths that it is not Christianity at all but a false religion. This episode explains why Christians trust the Bible as the inerrant, uncorrupted revelation of God to us—the God-breathed Word of God.   For Further Prayerful Thought: What would you say to someone who says, “I think it tells spiritual truth, but the events it records are not always real historical events”?How would you answer the objection, “We don’t even really know what the original writers of the Bible really said. Bible translations disagree”?What is your biggest doubt about whether the Bible is really God’s Word? For the printed version of this message click here. For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here. For FREE downloadable studies on men’s issues click here: <br/><br/>To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)
