Dealing With Objections to the Bible: Interpreting the Bible [Blog Audio]

Do we really pick and choose to obey some Bible passages and not others? How do we choose which teachings we’ll follow and which ones we won’t?

And how do we answer critics on this issue? Especially when they use difficult or seemingly obscure passages?

Christians are often criticized (and sometimes rightfully so), for cherry picking from the Bible and ignoring the difficult passages that embarrass us. Kind of like scandalous family members whom we’d rather not acknowledge or talk about. 

And why not, since they seem to provide so much ammunition for “popular” cynics like Bill Maher. Or more scholarly critics like Sam Harris.

For the sincere questioner, however, and even for our own sakes, Christians need to provide an answer.
