Handling God's word as a "book" and "God-breathed" often means confronting our own theological biases and emotional attachments. But we need to kill off these "sacred cows" so we can fully embrace God's word to us today.
Was Goliath over 9 feet tall, or just over 6 six feet tall? Was Paul fortunate or blessed? Did God speak of a future event in past tense? Did Jesus become sin, or just a sin offering? All of these and more are covered in today's lesson as we explore how to make bible translation decisions regarding:
Idioms (I Kings 20:11)
Emotional Attachments (Luke 22:43-44, 1 Sam 17:4)
Theological Bias (Josh 6:2, Acts 26:2, 2 Cor 5:21)
