Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, Justin and I are going to talk about interpreting God's Word.

Do we just need Jesus and the Bible to fully understand everything that God has revealed to us?

Are systems, confessions, and creeds bad? Do they influence negatively?

And is it safe to say that we can actually read God's word without having a system?

We are going to explain what biblical theology is and what the history of Christianity has

believed throughout time about interpreting God's word.

And in our members' podcast, we talk about how all of Scripture is Christian Scripture,

including the Old Testament, some thoughts on dispensational theology

and how your system of interpreting God's word will affect your assurance. We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

Conversations and lively ones at that about the Christian life from a reformed, from a reformed perspective.

If you don't know what reform means, we just did a podcast on the five points of reform theology.

You can go back and listen to that episode.

Today, your hosts are John Mock.

Oh, man, I started off of myself. Actually, we're going to start with Justin. Justin Purdue,

pastor of coming at Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and John Mott, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Springhill, Tennessee.

It has been a lively morning, as you can already tell this morning.
