Do you agree with the lecturer that a person must be a born-again Christian in order to understand the Bible? Give reasons for your answer.
-
Most definitely and for the very reason that the professor stated that to interpret spiritual things, such as the Bible you must have the mind of Christle, the word of God
-
Yes. Scripture has to be spiritually discerned, and it is the Holy Spirit who gives this discernment (1 Cor chapter 2). Only a born-again Christian has the Spirit dwelling in him permanently. But I believe this does not mean that the Spirit cannot reach out to a Christian to bring him to God.
#Interpretation
-
I believe that God speaks to unbelievers and can choose to reveal any meaning of the Scriptures He wants to reveal in order to draw non-Christians to Himself. However, once you are a follower of Jesus, it is often easier to understand the Bible because your spirit is alive and you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you to help you interpret Biblical truths.
-
Yes, I do believe that a person must be born again in order to rightfully understand the Bible. As the lecturer quoted Paul from 1 Corinthians 2:4 “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God for they’re foolishness to Him. Neither can he understand them because they’re spiritually discerned.”
-
I do agree. And believe that as Christians our teacher is the Holy Spirit that leads, guides, and gives us an understanding of
the Bible.
