The stories presented in the reading represent not only an idea of deliverance to the people that read the stories at the time of or shortly after the time of writing, but have relevance to people everyone and everywhere. This is because the stories are manipulated in ways that then present a group as the “good guys” in the story, strengthening their position or cause. This has real-life political and social consequences, and also is indicative of the need to make stories about ourselves, to see ourselves in the “good guys.” One particularly utilized example is the reclamation of the story of Exodus.

I enjoyed very much all the good points mentioned in your discussion board regarding the Bible. I do believe that, it is important to learn the history, meaning and behind God’s plan for the Bible in our regular day lives. In the meantime, I would like to highlight the fact that, nevertheless, the Bible is all God’s Word, but, it is also good, in order to better appreciate, that Christians study other scriptures such as Old and New Testament, Gospel, the Psalms, Proverbs, Wisdom, and so forth.

As stated in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable
Schlimm makes a great point showing that if we apply each individual text directly to our lives, it won’t make sense. This is partly because some passages in the bible tell us about events that God doesn’t intend to duplicate

The Bible is separated into two main sections, the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament tells of the time before Jesus Christ comes into the world. On the other hand, the New Testament tells of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many people view the Old and New Testament as being totally separate parts of the bible.

Since the one Spirit of God moved the authors to write the Holy Scriptures, the collective writings of the authors within scripture teach theological concepts in unity. As the Bible progresses, the Spirit of God moves the authors to progress in knowledge of theological truths in unity.
