  The culture of the United States, is so different from other parts of the world, and certainly the ancient world. In the church that I pastor, I recently preached a four week sermon series on the 4 types of Biblical love. These four types of love are “Storge” or family love, “Philia,” or “Phileo,” which is friendship love, “Eros” love, which is the love of a husband and wife, and “Agape” love, which is the love God has for us all. Just the idea of love in the original Ancient Greek is so different than our idea of love in our culture today. We use the word love so loosely, and the Bible has separate words and categories to describe love.

  Other that this, I have found as our culture has less and less agriculture, some people cannot relate to the parables and scriptures about agriculture as much as years ago.

  Culture today though different in many ways still has a lot of similarities of past Culture. Bridging the two is fascinating,such as adultery, lust, children and parents, the way they treated one another. Scripture tells us that which was will be again. Ther is nothing new under the sun.

  Learning how we can take what was and learn so we can be better for what is. Culture can help us understand that better.

  Today’s culture in most part have come to view the Bible as one of the religious books amongst several others. Some parts of today’s culture even views some text of the Bible as ordinary stories written by some men that were influenced by their environment and personal experiences. However, despite the ways today’s culture have come to view the context and spiritual values of the Holy Bible, I have personal come to understand and experience the Holy Bible as the only authentic Word of the Almighty God.

  My first thought is thinking about myself and what this passage means to me. Dr. Robinson tells us the first thing we need to remember is that it was written to a specific group of people and we first must realize and ask what did this mean to them.
