Hermeneutics: Twisting Truth to Self-Destruction

The Bible - Still Authoritative

In this episode of the Biblical Christianity Podcast, we discuss why the Bible is still our authority in matters of faith, worship, doctrine, and daily life. We begin with the sovereignty of God and show why His authority is rooted in His position as Creator and Lord over all. From there, we examine how that authority was given to Christ, delivered through the apostles, and preserved in the inspired Scriptures. This episode also addresses the dangers of replacing biblical authority with creeds, traditions, personal feelings, cultural trends, or religious practices that God has not authorized. If we are going to walk by faith, we must walk according to the Word of God.

"Church Fathers," History or Authority?

In this episode of the Biblical Christianity Podcast, we examine the so-called “church fathers” and ask an important question: are their writings authoritative for Christians today? While many early Christian writers provide helpful historical insight, their writings were not inspired and must never be placed on the same level as Scripture. This discussion considers men such as Clement, Polycarp, Ignatius, Cyprian, and others, showing how their writings can confirm historical practice while also revealing the gradual rise of error after the apostolic age.

Hermeneutics: The New Hermeneutic Rebranded

Old error has a way of coming back with new packaging. In this episode, we examine The New Hermeneutic Rebranded and show how terms like core gospel, storyline, first-level doctrines, and not a fellowship issue are often used to weaken biblical authority. This discussion closes our hermeneutics series by defending the need to interpret Scripture according to what God has revealed — through command, approved example, and necessary inference. The question is not whether the Bible can be understood. The question is whether we are willing to obey it.

Hermeneutics: Twisting Truth to Self-Destruction

Recorded on location near Sunset Crater in Flagstaff, Arizona, this episode brings together biblical hermeneutics, apologetics, science, creation, and judgment. We are joined by Dr. Jeff Miller of Apologetics Press to discuss how the same evidence can be interpreted through completely different lenses. Naturalism begins by excluding God. Biblical faith begins by submitting to the truth God has revealed. This episode examines the tactics used to undermine truth, the motivations behind rejecting God, and the sobering reality that judgment is coming. Whether the issue is science, Scripture, doctrine, or morality, truth must not be twisted to fit man’s desires. The flood happened. Judgment is coming. God is merciful now — but His truth must be obeyed.

Hermeneutics: Restricting Remote Application

In this episode of the Biblical Christianity Podcast, we continue our study of biblical hermeneutics by addressing the growing problem of restricted application — the claim that certain Scriptures cannot be applied beyond their immediate context. The panel examines how this approach is often used to dismiss passages people do not want to obey, while still selectively applying others. From Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10 to Hebrews 7, Leviticus 10, Matthew 19, and 2 Timothy 2:15, we show that God expects His Word to be understood, reasoned from, and applied faithfully today. Context matters, but context does not cancel application. It protects meaning; it does not bury it. This episode is a direct call back to sound interpretation, biblical authority, and honest obedience to the Word of God.
