Gary: ___"I wished that God would had added somethig about Uriah as to his ultimate fate."___ I like and admire your statement, Gary. I like it because it is revelatory of a kind and caring heart; I admire it for its honesty. It's perfectly true that God does not connect all the dots for us. Regardless of what anyone else may say about the Bible, it simply does not have all the answers to every man's questions, and it never makes such a claim for itself. The Bible is God's revelation of Himself to man, as much revelation of Himself, that is, as He chose to disclose. And though I shudder at the thought of being the least presumptuous toward the sovereign God in any manner, it is the conviction of this mortal that God has revealed enough about Himself in His word that though we should spend a thousand years in the most arduous, diligent study of His word we would have only begun to skim the surface. .... I commend your statement for yet another reason, Gary. You have not attempted in the Uriah account to connect the dots for God. The trend today is bad and growing worse to do just that, to connect the dots in places where God left them unconnected -- to provide an easy-fix, a slick answer, a glib explanation, a smug theology that answers all questions, solves all mysteries, closes all doors that God chose to leave open. How much more honest and humble it is to say "I don't know the answer to such and such a question because God has not revealed it in His word" than to engage in vain speculation, presuming to possess a depth and degree of spiritual knowledge and insight far beyond what is revealed in the very word of God. --Hank | ||||||

I have been away from this web site for some time and was very please to read your message from you. Your answer shows me that you have a firm understanding of God and his written words recorded in our Bible. It is so true in this present time frame that so many do read into a passage something that God never intended to inpart to us. Thanks Hank |
