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

    I have been a Christian for all of my adult life and learned from the very beginning that it is the inspired, inerrant Word of God. My belief is that Scripture is true. When the culture makes claims against the Bible it causes me to seek answers to prove the Scripture is true rather than doubt it. A biblical stance is not always popular but it worth the time and effort to develop your own belief in the Bible.

    I think the church culture provides a greater challenge than culture at large. For example, some of the family discussions we have, i.e., election, predestination, full immersion, sprinkling, what is a day, billion of years, etc. It is not comfortable when one group thinks they are superior because of their interpretation of Scripture. This makes me not want to share exactly what I believe. The affect is to continue to pray, read and study.

    In today’s culture, certain acts, lifestyles, and even the simple way we live, have been deemed normal, or at the very least acceptable. When we dive into scripture, these acts, lifestyles and the simple way we live, have been addressed. They are not acceptable, and should not be considered normal. Therefore, as we read the Bible, and look at “modern” issues, we should expect to find them addressed in scripture. We then have God’s Word guiding us to lead our congregations to what is truly acceptable by God and what is not.

    Today in this world I have noticed that depending on what culture people are brought up in affects the way they view the Bible. Especially in the biblical world view culture where different denominations will try to give and teach their own views of the Bible in certain topics.

    One way today’s culture affects my view of the Bible is that I tend to see things through the lens of science and western reasoning. I have been raised with a dualist mindset. I am uncomfortable sitting with contradiction and mystery.
    Of course there are many other areas that are shaped by my culture. I think from an individualistic mindset rather than from a communal mindset.
    I think my view of government and family and human rights are all very different from the thinking in the Bible.

    I think it affects me because in the most parts I interpret things that the Bible did not intend to say because I think that the culture is similar than mine.
