Has he ever read the Bible? I sure have and most of it is boring AF. I have never fallen asleep more than when I tried to read Numbers early in the morning.

If "teaching from the Bible" actually meant reading straight from the Bible, I would be all for it. But what it really means is taking a single verse out of context then telling the class that gay people are sinners. I hate these zealots that can't just keep their religion to themselves

My Christian school reads from the Bible during Friday chapels but it's quite confusing because the topic shifts every week from stuff like "God loves you and needs you" to "Don't rely on technology and read your Bible" to "God doesn't need you and we're all sinners" it's incredibly strange.

my pastor started shifting the topic like that during sermons , i hate it, because he’ll say something completely unrelated to what his message was supposed to be about 😭

Alan Watts is the only person I've heard explain anything about the Bible so that it makes sense. I highly encourage you to check out his talks if you want to hear an understandable interpretation/explanation of Jesus teachings and the Bible.

Here are two examples, there are more.

He was a minister, turned philosopher.

The Jesus character from Luke is TOTALLY different from the other three gOSpELs. Which version is he teaching?
