For anyone who has defected from a cult that insisted that you could not understand the Bible apart from the cult's theology, you can go to Rumble and plug into the search bar "How to Read and Understand the Bible” and you will find a 24-part series containing the same content that my former seminary professor, J.B. Hixson at NotByWorks Ministries, taught in a course called Hermeneutics. Part 1 can be found here:
Part 1 - Why Do You Believe What You Believe?
Part 2 - Cutting Straight in Interpretation
Part 3 - Does God speak today?
Parts 4 & 5 - Meaning vs Signifcance
Part 6 -How We Got the Bible
Part 7 - The Extraordinary Nature of the Bible
Parts 8-24 - How to Read and Understand the Bible
