This is my first attempt at a new thread but I would love to hear about anyone's experience with either hearing a service at their church, or participation in a bible study, discussion with a friend or private study that resulted in them viewing or understanding scripture in a new way.
Our church is undergoing an extensive study on Abraham. This past Sunday our Pastor walked us through Genesis 19 and initiated the discussion with admitting this chapter is extremely difficult for many if not most of Christians to wrap their head around. After listening to his notes to include the existing culture at that time I viewed both sisters for the first time regrettably in a non judgemental way to see another side of their plight. While their actions to save themeselves was sinful, I was able to have more compassion for their circumstance and understand Abrahams role also.
Thought it might be interesting to see if anyone had new or recent insights into other scriptures ?
