Now Faith: Bad Hermeneutics

The sermon presents a deeply pessimistic view of contemporary Christianity, arguing that the pursuit of personal application and emotional resonance within biblical interpretation has led to a system of spiritual anarchy where individual interpretations reign supreme, rendering theological consistency and objective truth meaningless. The speaker critiques the devotional experiential hermeneutic, highlighting its tendency to distort scripture by prioritizing subjective feelings over grammatical context and authorial intent, ultimately concluding that the widespread practice of manipulating biblical passages to fit pre-determined agendas has created a facade of unity while fostering discord and undermining the very foundation of Christian belief.
