1 | Is this heresy? | Ex 32:13 | True_Believer | 59853 | ||
Thank you all the the great responses. I feel that we do know the size of the observable universe, and the age as we comprehend age. This makes our Lord so enormously powerful as to leave us in total awe and Holy Fear. That He would die for us in such a horrible manner make me quake in my skin and shrivels my ego to a worm like stature. God has never been as huge and powerful as He is today and for the last 70 years or so. Since the advent of the Hubble Space Telescope, this has been driven home for today's generations. This is perhaps the lesson and legacy of science. I don't think that we should try to find a way out of this apparent inconsistancy. I don't think we should formulate constructs to explain the Mind of God. He has allowed us this scientific vanity to greater show his glory. A glory prior generations did not suspect. A glory so far beyond the scope of our apprehension that we are virtually non-existant in the backdrop of his infinite creation. Perhaps He is feeding us solid food here and expects our awe and praise. Are we not ready? Did The Lord not tell Abraham that his children would be as numerous as the stars in the sky? Is this not a window into God's creation and a glimps of His magnificent plan for His children? Is this heresy? |

I wasn't sure what he was getting at, but I think it was that there are more stars than there are descendents of Abraham. If that's his question, whether or not this verse is actually true, then I have the answer. It's true, but I think that it might be interpreted best, when in light of other scripture. God made the promise in Gen. 13:16, and when he said that Abraham's descendents would be like the stars, he meant that the difficulty in numbering them, not that they would be the same number. The amplified says in Gen. 28:14 that they would be as countless as the stars. I hope this helps! Ryan |
