Your gut is wrong
Our gut instinct is to downplay parts of the Bible that don’t sound so pleasant to us, or, we suspect, to new listeners. “Jesus is the one and only way to God (John 14:6). The hearer’s gut reaction is: ‘That can’t be right! It just feels wrong.’ The question that soon follows is: ‘Does that mean that all the other religions in the world are wrong?’ When we reply ‘yes,’ the offense of our response can be felt.”
“Sadly we also see it in our churches amongst Christians. When we teach on some of those (supposedly) trickier passages, such as God’s good design for human sexuality and the role of men and women, the initial gut reaction is often anything but positive. It’s not that congregations want to openly rebel against God’s word, it’s just that ‘it doesn’t feel right.’”
