Who Is Bound2TRUTH?
Bound2Truth is convinced that only when we bring the entire Bible – The Wholly Bible – into our culture wars, and introduce a foundation of Truth that includes the Gospel of Israel’s Messiah as the answer, can we end the rampant evil that is gripping our nation. Only by approaching use of this book from a Hebraic Worldview can we understand it and then make accurate application.
How Far Have You Gone With TRUTH?
The Bible is a radical book. It is not meant to be gentle, to make you feel all snuggly warm like being settled in on a fall evening with a warm cup of tea. It pushes constantly against how you and I look at life and everything that comes into contact with our lives. The Bible not only defines reality, it sets up the boundaries – the walls and gates – of that reality and how we may interact with True TRUTH.
The choice always remains with each of us, within our power to choose to accept or reject. There are other websites that provide assistance with all the evidence to support that the Bible is true.
Bound2TRUTH has not been created to do that. We begin as fully hopeful that you already have that foundation from others such as Answers in Genesis and Josh McDowell Ministries or Summit Ministries (our own down the road a piece neighbors in Colorado). Or even others such as Cross Examined or Apologetics. By listing them here Bound2TRUTH is providing foundational resources for you. This does not mean we agree with them 100% on every issue (as I am certain they would say the same thing about us) but that Bound2TRUTH will not likely be helpful unless you have come to the conclusion the the Bible is 100% TRUTH-filled.
While these organizations are concerned with why do we believe the Bible to be true, Bound2TRUTH is concerned having concluded it is true, now HOW do we apply that knowledge. How do we apply that knowledge accurately going all the way from a desert in between Egypt and the Jordan River to the streets of America at this time in history. How do we apply what they know and applied now in our culture in such a way those people from thousands of years ago would say :Yes! You got it right!
You will never apply the Bible accurately and successfully by approaching it with a 21st Century American mindset. This goal of accuracy in application may only be accomplished by approaching it as a book written by a Middle eastern people group and understanding it from within their culture and then, and only then, applying it to what we face today. And that leaves open that what we call a Semitic culture did not exist on its own. What we now refer to was created by revelation from God to a people group and as they came into alignment with what had been revealed, their culture was created.
So rather than pursue a Greek versus a Hebraic worldview, we are founded on approaching a Creator Worldview – YHVHs (the Hebrew letters that form his name) view that aligns with his character. That is to say that people can influence the interpretation of Scripture but not its inspiration.
So in that sense we do study how a Hellenistic or Greek way of thinking can influence interpretation and application, and how the same may be said of Hebraic thinking, but we stand firmly on the fact the the inspired Scriptures came from our God himself: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” 2 Tim 3:16
Even Messiah, who was raised in a Hebraic culture, was at war with his culture and in particular the leaders of that culture. His Hebrew mindset was not the important part for Yeshua said clearly
“My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me. If anyone wants to do his will, he will know whether this teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own. The one who speaks on his own seeks his own praise. But the one who seeks the praise of him who sent him is genuine, and there is nothing false in him. Joh 7:16-18.
At Bound2TRUTH we therefore study among other topics how our western mindset or worldview effects how we interpret Scripture but we do not go to our western worldview to for a basis for understanding Scripture. Neither do we go to an eastern or Hebraic worldview to find our understanding. While these can be informative neither is foundational. Therefore we also do not go to learning cultural customs and practices as a means of enhancing our learning. These may be informative as to how prior generations understood something, but being informative is quite different from formative.
How far have you been pushed by this book most of us call call the Bible and which Bound2TRUTH calls The Wholly Bible? Is your understanding and application centered in your own worldview and comfort zone or have you allowed it to push you way outside of that to where it lives, to how it sees and how it applies its content? Are you expecting it to come to you and teach you, or are you expecting yourself to come to it and learn?
Join with us in our journey at Bound2TRUTH as we take on the cultures around as where they differ with the culture of the Bible as we strive to make 21st Century Disciples with the love and power of a 1st Century faith.
