Thank you for this helpful explanation, Pastor Josh. Whether liberal textual critic or faith-filled seeker of God's self-revelation through Scripture, none can deny the power of our presuppositions. But when I think that mine are rooted in the gift of faith given by our Loving Creator God, that he chose me before the foundation of the world, and that I could never have come to this faith without his gift of regeneration, I am deeply humbled and grateful. I love the power of my presuppositions when I read sacred Scripture.
