The Grace of Christ be with you!
Confirmation bias is another way of saying we only see what we expect to see. The prophet Zephaniah proclaims the turn of God’s wrath that led to Israel’s exile to favor. God is the warrior God who does not seek to punish Israel for their sins but to love them and defend them against their enemies. Where do we see confirmation of our faith? Is it unbiased? Why or why not?
