Episode notes
Scripture Is Both Divine And Human
- Comer frames scripture as both divine and human, rejecting an either/or reading of inspiration.
- He urges living in that tension: Scripture has God-breathed authority and visible human authorship.
Not Knowing Scripture Leads To Error
- Jesus rebuked people for not knowing the scriptures and the power of God, linking biblical ignorance to error.
- Comer warns that modern biblical illiteracy likely fuels bad thinking and poor living.
Base Trust In Scripture On Jesus
- Trust in the Bible flows from trust in Jesus, not vice versa; follow Jesus' example to trust scripture.
- Comer urges believers to accept scripture's authority because Jesus himself treated it as authoritative.
