Assumptions

In everything religious, theological, etc that I write (which will be a lot, 'cause that's just the way I am) I make a few assumptions:

1. God exists.


2. There is only one God (the God of the Bible…יהוה)


3. Everything in the Bible is there to be understood. If I don’t understand something right now, it’s because I’m not looking at it right and needs to be worked out.


4. At the heart of the New Testament is the Hebrew Bible (aka the Old Testament) and Judaism. This means that to get a proper understanding of the New Testament we must be grounded firmly in the Hebrew Bible and the Jewish understanding of their scriptures.


5. There’s probably more, but I can’t think of them right now…
