Make Hermeneutics 101 Great Again
Seriously, how many of these Twitter debates would be put to bed if we all - including many of the loudest voices - shared a grasp on basic hermeneutical concepts?
Honestly, I suspect that this, along with other online “controversies,” are more about catechesis (or the lack thereof) in our local churches than they are about whatever is purported to be the source of conflict.
Some subsequent random thoughts:
1) church members, pls look to your pastor(s) for guidance & instruction, not some random dude with a big follower count or slick IG page etc;
2) pastors, let’s keep passing on sound doctrine & teaching ppl to rightly divide the word of truth;

3) let’s all please dispense with the idea that theology and hermeneutics and whatever else aren’t “practical.” First of all, there’s nothing more practical than learning to love God and read his Word. Second, the battle right now is for truth - conspiracy theories abound.
4) I can’t say this enough - just because someone is on the Internet, even if they have lots of followers or acclaim or whatever, doesn’t make them an expert or the right voice to listen to etc. We need to stop letting Twitter algorithms tell us who to follow, esp re: controversy
