What are the biblical references for a good Christian should not date a non-Christian?
(For a friend)
"Do not be unequally with unbelievers a foreign yoke: why is there between justice and injustice? And what fellowship can light have with darkness? "[2 Corinthians 6:14 / RV]. For a more modern translation, the NIV states this verse as "Not mated with the infidels. To do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? "[NIV] Paul's comment here is believers and non believers are nothing in common, to try to start a marriage with a gap only lead to problems. God must be the center of a Christian marriage, and if half of those affected do not recognize, tensions rise.

Scripture As Communication $17.63 Is the Bible just a book of ancient Israelite and Christian history and practices to be read? Or are we engaging in a more interactive practice when we study God`s word? Jeannine K. Brown believes that communication is at the heart of what we do when we open the Bible, that we are actively engaging God in a conversation that can be life changing. By learning about how Scripture communicates, modern readers can extract much more meaning out of the text than they could if simply reading the Bible as though it was a list of rules or a collection of stories. In Scripture as Communication, Brown offers professors, students, church leaders, and laity a basic guide to the theory and practice of biblical interpretation, helping them understand our engagement with Scriptures as primarily a communicative act. |

Understanding Scripture $9.87 Without question, studying the Bible can be one of the most rewarding experiences of the Christian life. Unfortunately, if you are ill-equipped, studying the Bible can also be intensely frustrating. For example, how do we know when the Bible is being literal and when it`s being figurative-and how can we tell the difference without a degree in theology? What do history and culture have to do with studying the Bible? Are there principles for interpreting parables, allegories, prophecies? Is Revelation different? Because questions like these are inescapable, Understinding Scripture: How to read and Study the Bible is a must for the individual interested in maximizing his or her time in Bible study.This book arose out of Alvera and Berkeley Mickelsen`s life-long passion for helping people understand the Bible and its significance for their lives. Now in a thorough revision of the 1978 edition co-authored with her husband, Alvera Mickelsen once again shows how principles of interpreting God`s word can make Scripture come alive in an unprecedented way. |
