Like, I'm going to put an expiration date, and I think that's where some people go too far down that rabbit hole.

It's like, I'm going to get into the depression, and now I'm... I'll stop.

We need to put up some guardrails, and it's okay to wallow in it for a quick second, because sometimes life does suck.

Wow.

That's an enormous question.

I know.

You're the guy to answer.

I can give you some opinions off the cuff here.

One of them I would say is there's obviously a spiritual warfare of when truth is spoken and a lie is always going to be present.

Because there's that interpretation.

The second thing I would say is that we all view everything through the context of our own existence, right?

I can't see the world outside of the way I saw it.

And I think, and I'll get a little bit more historical and exegetical here and say, the Bible was written in a time that in context, it made sense.

And we try to interpret those actions through a 21st century mindset.

And, you know, I hear people say things, oh, women were treated terrible in the Bible.

I'm like, no, not always.

And now, and in some cases, yes.

And in some cases, children were treated badly.

I even hear the Pope, for instance, making a comment recently about God will not hear the prayers of men who wage war.

And it's like, and I immediately stopped and I'm like, I don't know if that's true because I've got documents of God specifically telling people to go to war and I'm not promoting war or not promoting war.
