Where were you born?
What is your sex?
What foods do you like?
What denomination are you?
What race are you?
Were you raised in the suberbs?
Where you raised in the country?
CONTEXT.............
Although Jews of whatever persuasion shared a common loyalty to the Mosaic Law (in Hebrew, Torah), first century Judaism was marked by considerable diversity. The principal groups were the Sadducees, Pharisees, Zealots and Essenes.
Who was right?
The Calvinists believe in the T.U.L.I.P (google it if you have not seen it)
The Arminisist believe in choice
Etc.....
Who is right?
We have to filter the facts first.
1. There is a God
2. We are not Him
3. Jesus Christ was born of a virgin named Mary
4. He lived for 33 years and 6 months
5. He was killed
6. He rose again three days later
7. he told us He is coming back (HE HAS NEVER LIED BEFORE)
How do you read this? How do you know you are right?
Is God really Jesus?
Does God come in other forms?
Now remember - strip away your context, grab your Bible and read it for yourself.
Enter it with an open mind and bring its culture into your culture, then what do you have?
Part 3 coming soon
