The scripture rightly records in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed from the lack of knowledge…” Bible is the inspired word of God written by several people spread across various time periods yet coherently conveying the heart and purposes of God. However, when scriptures are cherry picked, interpreted away from the context, wrongly applied, or selectively believed in, the foundation and object of faith is lost. The Christendom has offered and witnessed a lot of messengers and theologians, each claiming to have the revelation of God. However, the Bible on the other hand cautions us to discern and search the scriptures diligently. This pleads the questions, “How does one discern, by what standards and whose standards can one go about in searching scriptures?” Since Christians consider Bible as One truth, it presents us with more than one challenge when it comes to interpreting it. The lack of principles or foundations in interpreting scriptures lead to flawed and untrue understanding of God, his nature, his purposes throughout history, his work and his manifestations, his redemptive plan for mankind and His own glorification at the end.
God in his mercy gathered few of us, twined us into a friendship that was purposed to spiritually edify each other. Over the years of friendship and communal exploration and study of the scriptures, we were each burdened and led to share these expositions to others. Pertaining to the Indian context sadly there aren’t many doctrinal expositions either because of the lack of prominence or because of the lack of resources. In order to aid this need before us, we began “HE ALETHEIA” meaning The Truth in Greek, a YouTube channel publishing episodes of teachings that are intentionally centered around systematic and biblical contextual interpretation of the word. We believe and intend to convey God the author and the inspiration, Christ the Word incarnate and Holy Spirit the enabler of all wisdom and knowledge. To the end we have so far produced 20 episodes of teachings, in the languages, English and Kannada. We envision a broader platform to reach larger group of laymen through more online content and easier accessibility and simpler forms of language.
