How to Understand the Bible
By Grantley Morris
For spiritual truth, we need the Bible, but to understand the Bible, the same God who inspired its writers must inspire its readers. This webpage searches the Scriptures to identify and learn how to remove personal blockages to divine revelation,lest we fall into error.
Why can good Christians study the same Bible passages, be certain that they have found God’s truth and yet end up with contradictory beliefs about what God means? The scary truth is that these disagreements exist even when full-on, Spirit-filled Christians or highly skilled Bible scholars and theologians interpret Scripture. We all believe we are “rightly dividing the word of truth” but, disturbingly, our contradictory interpretations prove that most of us are in error – not what we would call heresy, but isn’t the God we serve a God of Truth? Any error is likely to have undesirable effects.
