Responding to Pushback about My Thoughts on Bible Translation and Interpretation

Описание: Recently I shared a post on IG that resonated with a lot of people: https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoojCFvg...

Essentially, I suggested that YOUR BELIEFS do not "come from God" or even "from the Bible," but they come from YOUR INTERPRETATION of the Bible.

Loads of people loved it... and, it also (understandably) generated some pushback and questions for clarification.

So in this video I take on four of the more frequently asked questions when the topic of Bible interpretation and translation comes up.

00:00 When my IG post when "viral"
8:52 What makes for a "better" interpretation?
21:17 Is the Bible only a Greek-to-English translation?
30:31 Does God divinely protect the reader from misunderstanding?
34:05 Divine preservation of translation?
