Before getting into any Bible book, I use this paper to introduce people to some tools useful for the proper interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
Is Homosexuality Compatible with Christianity's doctrine?

No wonder there is so much division among the Body of Christ! Taking for example the doctrine of salvation where many Christians divide themselves between predestination and free will, one group emphasizes the biblical doctrine of predestination overlooking free will, while the other group does the opposite. However, both doctrines are biblical and they are applicable to the people of God under the New Covenant that Jesus inaugurated through His death. Now, how Bible readers understand them is a different issue.

The Bible is not like any other book because the Bible is considered God's written Word. Many writers with many trades from many places and separated by time, culture, and circumstances were moved by the Holy Spirit to share in written form God's message to a fallen human race.

As new believers, all of us Christians mostly learn what to believe; not how to properly read and study the Bible. Because our Christian leaders do not teach us well (or not at all) how to rightly explain the word of truth, we often become spiritual clones of our Christian upbringing without questioning whether what we are being taught or preached to is sound doctrine. We often repeat what others concluded was the correct interpretation of the biblical texts because we trust these people. The existence of many Christian denominations gives testimony of the facts I mention above.

Sometimes is because we Christians may act like the religious people during the earthly ministry of Jesus while sometimes it is because there is a conviction in their hearts of the probability of the existence of a God that has set before them what is right or wrong, and good or evil. The topic of God, or a God, is not as divisive as the topic of Jesus; who He is and what He came to do. The theme of God is often generic (too broad) and it often leads to healthy, however unproductive, discussions because those involved in the discussions incorrectly or unnoticeably believe they are talking about the same God, which they might not.
