Why the Bible is So Often Misunderstood
What would you say if someone asked you why unicorns are in the Bible? Many of us would have no answer for that. That is a real question that was asked to a local pastor by someone who said he saw that the Bible said unicorns existed. We dive into that question in this sermon and talk about if the Bible is a book of fairytales or God’s Word for us. We also look at what the Bible is about and how we can read it more accurately.
