What do the words of the Bible mean? How should I interpret the Bible?
What did Jesus mean when He said “Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead”? (Matthew 8:22)
Did John the Baptist mean a physical fire when He said “…he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”? (Matthew 3:11)
This website can help you decide these questions, based on the words in the Bible itself!
Most of us grew up hearing ministers explain the Bible, but a fresh study of scripture shows many interpretations are wide of the mark! I invite you to study the topics below to learn and decide for yourself what Christ and the earlier Prophets meant. We do not tell you what to think but provide the information you need to decide for yourself.
