Hi,
Recently I have been reading some Bible commentaries by the likes of William Henry and Charles Spurgeon, to name a few.
From the first words of any outside commentary you can see just how different UBF ibterpretations are then what bible scholars say. Who do you believe numerous Bible scholars or UBF people with no Biblical training/schooling. I once mentioned something in a testimony and my fellowship leader told me how that was an imaginative interpretation. I told him I cannot take credit for that I read it from a message delivered by Spurgeon so if it is good/bad/indifferent give credit to Spurgeon. This shows the exact problem with UBF, nobody really has a clue about what the Bible actually really means.
I noticed how UBF misses and just ignores the main point in so many passages. I also saw how they make up points to make it seem like they are so smart. I think it would be interesting to see some examples of that posted here.
Besides the obvious misinterpretations of Rebekah and the Samaritan woman passages what other passages does UBF clearly not get it.
I especially see they totally miss the point when it comes to prophecy passages and passages on leaders morals. I have a couple very clear examples in mind but i want to see what you people experienced, i bet someone will mention what i am thinking about.
Please back your examples with a clear quote or sentance from a noted scholar. Lets also not get into controversial passages but passages that are so clear it is actually funny how UBF twists the meanings. Please try to be as short and concise as possible as I know this can be a long thread.
