The Bible is not a book of history. Of course there are lots of historical events narrated in it but the point being is, don’t read as if it is a book of history.
One common error by many is treating it as a historical book. One classic example is this passage.
If I have to take this as a historical event that happened exactly as such then this would give me a picture of an arrogant and ungrateful guest.
The main purpose of reading the Bible is that it should bring us to faith. If by reading a biblical passage we didn’t feel inspired in terms of deepening our faith, then it is a crystal clear sign that we missed the point.
So let’s not dwelt too much on Jesus attitude towards his host, the message here is that we must be clean inside and outside.
