Contemporary Interpretations of Biblical Stories

Israel 2022-04-20 09:01:31

First of all, Noah's Ark is a story in the Bible.

But the story illustrates Noah's hesitation, understanding and perception with the eyes of contemporary humanity.

No matter what happens, or what is done, one cannot ignore human feelings and thoughts.

Noah is no longer an inspired prophet in the film, or at least not at all.

It is an ordinary person who, like ordinary people, keeps making mistakes, advancing, sometimes having epiphanies, and sometimes being confused on the road of pursuing the truth.

There have been many different voices on the interpretation of the biblical story since ancient times. Under the influence of these different voices, either suppressed or widely accepted. Only then can the moral civilization of the Western world keep advancing, so that from the very beginning, everyone was the lamb of the church at that time. The subsequent civilization flourished.

The concept of God has gradually transformed from a materialized and humanized image into a spiritual symbol. But it is undeniable that the world still needs our strength to make it a better place, otherwise there will be another judgment. Therefore, the role of human beings in this world cannot be ignored. We are taught to protect the world and ourselves.

Therefore, Noah's struggles and many psychological changes in the film will become the main point of exposition of this film. After all, the stories in the Bible focus more on describing the end times, God, oracles, arks and descriptions of their functions, while ignoring people's inner activities.

The attack on the so-called conservatives is actually a roar when power is challenged. Pretty funny. Since God has taught us, and many times he will not speak the truth directly, then people's comprehension has become a crucial factor. If there is no comprehension, those signs will always be just signs and will not affect people. Educational talk?

The Bible is an archive of God's words and deeds and a series of prior stories and deeds. And only the summary is recorded, as for the details, it is not that there is no record, it is just that there is no record. Exploring the details can help us understand the meaning more deeply and listen to the teachings from God better. I don't think it's a sin.
