1 | Why does the Bible say days and nights? | Mark 8:31 | Signmanbob | 123050 | ||
Hi Angel, You put it very well! Before I became a Christian I could not understand the Bible because I would read it with the intention of finding faults or contradictions that I could use for arguments against Christianity. For some reason one time I resolved to read it from the perspective that it was God's true word and if there was something that I didn't understand then it was, like you said, my understanding that was deficient and God would eventually reveal it to me. When I approached the Bible from this perspective it began to all fit together in harmony and made perfect sense. The Bible is like a building with only one entrance. That entrance is Jesus Christ. In order to enter into the Bible one must go in the only entrance otherwise none of it makes sense and it will always seem like being on the outside. The questions I run into now are more just, like I said, curiosities. My faith is rooted in God’s beloved Son. In Christ, SignmanBob |

Hi, Bob! That is an excellent metaphor! I remember my first conscious understanding of the Bible: a close friend, who was a self-professed atheist, and I had a debate on God and the Bible... he confessed that he had never personally read the Bible and I challenged him to read it before totally embrasing atheism. That day I learned that God was using my friend to bring me into the fold: I had only a general understanding of the Bible and I discovered that I could not defend my position as a Christian if I only knew God peripherally! God Bless! Angel |
