This class centered around the authority and application of Scripture, especially as taught in 2 Timothy 3:16. Jeromy emphasized that God’s Word is inspired, complete, and unchanging, meant for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. Discussions explored how to approach the Bible with respect, humility, and readiness to be changed by it. Participants reflected on how rebuke and correction must be done in love, and how Scripture—not opinion—is the standard of truth. There was also a passionate critique of cultural reinterpretations of the Bible and a call to uphold truth in both speech and life.
Talking Points:
- All Scripture is inspired and authoritative.
- Bible is for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.
- Rebuke should be done with love and privacy, not for shame.
- Silence is not always loving—truth must be spoken.
- The Bible applies universally across cultures and times.
- Modern reinterpretations (like misusing Lazarus’ story) can be dangerously misleading.
- True wisdom often appears foolish to the world.
- Reading the Bible should lead to transformation, not just information.
- Christians must be doers, not just hearers of the Word (James 1:22).
