Christian Learning Center Forums Tell of several ways in which today’s culture affects the way you view the Bible.

    I think the rules and laws were much stricter in Scriptures than they are today so I have to take that in account when understanding the Bible. Stoning others who violated the laws; we wouldn’t do that today. Again the role and dominance of males over females in the Scriptures aren’t necessarily the same as today. When reading the Bible I must be aware of these differences in culture to really understand what is happening in the passages.

    Today’s culture is much different than it is portrayed in the Bible. One example is that today woman have a greater role in affairs than they did in Scriptures. Another example would be the redeeming of relatives that took place in Scriptures. Today’s culture moves so much faster than it does in Scriptures.

    Today’s culture definitely affects how I view the Bible. With everything moving fast; social media, instant answers, it’s easy to approach Scripture like it’s just another source of quick advice instead of taking time to sit with it and really understand the deeper meaning. Also, culture tends to focus a lot on personal feelings, so sometimes it’s tempting to read the Bible through a lens of “how does this make me feel?” instead of “what is God actually saying here?” It’s a reminder for me to slow down and approach the Word with reverence, not just relevance.

    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.
