Hi Smythe. I know that I am coming in a little late on this discussion, but if you don't mind, I'd like to comment from my own "personal" experience. It used to confuse, confound and down right aggravate me when people would tell me that the answer "is" in the bible, when I simply could not find it. Sometimes I felt they thought I was stupid, or just making excuses cause they couldn't point it out therein. Now, many years later, after having read the majority, if not the entire bible over many times, (I make no claims of anything other than what I just stated,) I can understand what they were saying. I pray you will understand what I am saying, for this is the only way I know how to put it. Researching the Word of God is occasionally like being in a forest looking for one particular tree. One could search an entire lifetime and never find it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. On the other hand, he could just as easily haphazardly run across it one day when he wasn’t even looking. Likewise, if he were able to look down on the “entire forest,” as a whole, he would likely see that tree. As a whole, it is my experience that the bible says it all. Each book, chapter, verse and word is only a small part of the whole picture. “In its whole,” It’s there. Persistence is one of my strong points. It can be a hindrance though. Faith is the better of the two. George |

I think we have the same view on this subject. While the Bible may not address issues such as things like Cocaine, the answer can still be found there. The Bible, is a guide on how we should live, and though a specific word might not be there, there are always similar situations. All of lifes questions can be answered with this one book, sometimes it just requires more than knowing a few verses, but also knowing the intent of a whole chapter, book, or the entire Bible. Thank you for the point you make sometimes I can forget this myself and it is nice to have someone bring me back to reality. God bless. | ||||||
