  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.

  Today’s culture influences my biblical views in several ways.

  Firstly, today’s culture influences me by pressuring me into reading the Bible out of context. It is the quick and easy mindset that we all feel from fast food restaurants to automated billing. I feel like this reactionary mindset influences my learning styles in the bible. This perspective influences readers to take scriptural text out of context which can create confusion and frustration when attempting to compare scripture.

  Secondly, society Has become so simplified and streamlined that we often forget how to incorporate hermeneutics into our biblical studies. Modern american society often bypasses the necessary learning of society during biblical times. This can sometimes create issues when trying to understand contextual concepts from scripture.

    Your perspective raised a very valid point in how today’s culture have come to shape how many of us view the Bible. In today’s fast paced culture, the Bible is sometimes viewed as a quick reference book with no quality time to meditate and understand the Word. It’s no surprise then that some people like me do sometimes read and explain the Bible out of context.

    Thanks for your contribution.

  Today our culture teaches that good things are bad things and bad things are good things

  It also encourage us to question the authority of God and The Bible
