Bible? A. Because of our nature We are far
removed in time, space, and culture from the

God says to other people. 2. How do we
interpret the Bible? A. Not by the black-eye
method B. But by grammitical-historical exegesis

does it mean to all always? 3. What does it mean
to people presently?

Them then
People presently
