If you ever feel the need to apologize for certain parts of the Bible, that’s a red flag. We all wrestle with difficult passages at times, but when we find ourselves feeling ashamed of what Scripture says, it’s an opportunity for a heart check.
Ask yourself: Why am I struggling to accept this truth? Do I need to study this passage in more depth to get a better understanding of why it teaches what it does?
This tension often arises around topics like gender roles, hell, judgment, or sexuality—areas where cultural values clash with biblical teaching. But if we feel the urge to soften or excuse what Scripture says, we have to confront a deeper question:
🔹 Do I believe I’m more compassionate or loving than Jesus?
If the answer is yes, that’s a dangerous mindset—one that can lead us away from truth and into deception. God’s Word isn’t something we need to defend or revise. It’s something we need to trust, even when it challenges us. . . . #Christianity#Bible#Apologetics
