Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 5-1-24 - Engaging the Text; Asking Pertinent Questions

This concept of engaging the text, i.e. the Biblical text, and asking pertinent questions about it has been floating around in my head for the past week or so following my Prophecy Update from last Wednesday in which I commented about House Speaker Mike Johnson. If possible, without directly getting too deep into the one Biblical issue I raise periodically that causes angst and pushback, I hope in this Commentary to suggest a method of examining God’s Word more fully so as to really think about what it says. In fact, I want to make the subject somewhat broader by looking at several Biblical issues that seem to cause people to studiously avoid deeper inspection and understanding.

There are three of these items I want to discuss. They are:

• Gods mentioned in the Bible
• Promises to Israel vs to the church
• If-then consequences in the Old versus New Testaments

The transcript for this audio commentary is available at my website blog under the post with the same title: https://garyritter.com/awaken-bible-prophecy-update-5-1-24-engaging-the-text-asking-pertinent-questions/
