Series: Twisting the Scriptures — Post 9 Why Scripture Must Be Heard Before It Is Explained The danger is not study itself, nor careful reading, nor a desire to “handle the Word rightly.” The danger lies in a quiet exchange that happens over time—the replacement of dependence on the Holy Spirit with confidence in systems….
Series: Why I Trust the KJV — Post 2 There is a reason the Bible never presents itself as a neutral religious artifact. Scripture does not ask to be evaluated before it is believed.
