How to Study the Bible Boot Camp

This course provides you four basic skills to improve your approach to bible study. C Michael Patton follows the authorial intent hermeneutic. This basically means that we want to understand the text as the original audience understood the text. There is a three step process to understanding the Scripture: 1. What did the text mean in ancient times, 2. what does the text mean for all time, 3. how does the text apply to us.

The Interpretive Process
Bridging the Historical Gap
Bridging the Literary Gap
Bridging the Contextual Gap

    …we want to understand the text as the original audience understood the text…

    A sensible approach - scripture makes a lot more sense without the burden of modern science to challenge its claims, or 2000 years of history to demonstrate what terrible things can be done in the name of the christian skyfather.

        Thanks to God we live in a free country where everyone has the right of opinion and expression.
        By telling non brainwashed people to not complain about a philosophy, it's like discriminating one race against the other.

          I agree with you dm01, many terrible things have been done in the name of the God (historically: the crusades, recently: Catholic priest pedophiles). I hope you see that I'm not at all defending those things. What I'm trying to say is that those things are not in line with the Bible. Therefore, they cannot be a good representative of Christianity and they can't be used as examples of what Christianity is like.

          If you read some of the things Jesus says in the new testament, you will find that it is not in fact "Stinky", but morally good and pleasing.

          I have a question for you. If the good things about Christianity were true and it wasn't as bad as you thought, would you become a Christian?

    authorial intent hermeneutic.

    so a fancy way of saying "This is what Maichael Patten reckons the stories mean"

    Any serious Christian wouldn't take the Old Testament as anything more then a collection of interesting stories.
    The New Testament is what Christains should be interested in. and I've always been told by Christian scholars, it comes down to "Love one another as I have loved you". Pretty simple, and even as an athiest, a great slogan to live your life by. My other favourite is "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Which IMHO authorial intent hermeneutic, is the budhist-like sort your own life out, before you judge anyone else.

    • afoveht on 26/09/2018 - 19:52

      Atheists and other non-Christians are likely not the most qualified people to be telling Christians how to be Christian.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2018 - 20:36

        I disagree. I read the New Testament and became an atheist. But I respect beliefs.

        • afoveht on 26/09/2018 - 21:26

          You seem to think being Christian requires one to be "good" or nice or just or loving or something?

        • Rayve on 26/09/2018 - 21:53

          What do you mean 'respect beliefs'? Do you mean 'hold them in high regard' or 'let others have them if they want'. I agree with the latter but definitely not the former.

            @Rayve: I have no problems with god bothers, so long as they don't bother me too much ;-)

            My reading of the Bible was that you should lead by example. I don't need to believe in a punishing higher power to be a nice/better person. But if someone needs to believe to be a better person, I respect that. So long as they're leading by example, rather then preaching how others should be living, I totally respect that. Otherwise they fall into the do as I say, not as I do hypocrisy.

            Basically most religions are good, but not all the followers are. I've met plenty of dhead Aussies, but not Aussies are dheads.

              @[Deactivated]: 'Most religions are good'??? Really? So when the Bible says to stone unruly teenagers that is 'good'? Or kill a person who works on the sabbath that is 'good'? Or kill witches, or believers in other religions or a foreign tribe, or keep slaves for life and beat them even if they die in a week, that is 'good'?

              You and I have very different ideas about what 'good' means.

              I think in reality you would say the people who actually followed the precepts of a religion like Christianity are barbarous and evil. You just are more comfortable with the 'wishy-washy' Christianity that has emerged in the last few centuries.

      As a rational-minded being, I'm more than happy to discard the Old Testament, as Christians do whenever its teachings become inconvenient.

      For those unaware, the Old Testament is the one that establishes the God, the creation myth, the Ten Commandments, hundreds of other immoral nonsensical rules that in the New Testament Jesus says he's come to enforce, the prophecies (including those fulfilled by Jesus in the NT), and forms the whole basis for the religion, and without which the New Testament makes absolutely no sense.

      In other words, discarding the OT and following the NT is basically like watching The Matrix Revolutions where Neo dies to fulfil the prophecy of him saving the world, without having watched the first two movies that established the whole premise of the story.

      Oh, and negging this spam for all the usual reasons as before.

    Negging because it's spam, again. As with all spam, it never seems to end.

    Let's see if my vote will actually remain published this time.

    Spam is spam and spam is not allowed.

      I remember the OP saying in the first of this "education" saga posts some months ago that he/she would start spamming OzBargain out of desperation because too many users disliked this stuff, it's not a bargain for too many reasons and most relevant one is the OP doing this on purpose as vindication to punish users.
      Not an education stuff anyways.
      Go to the church or go on Youtube and you'll find this kind of stuff, they even "persistently" come to your home even if you many times told them not to come anymore.
