Bible Question:
Hello Tim, If Hebrew culture "viewed everything as ultimately caused by God" (which I assume must include sin), how did they understand God to be holy, righteous, and good (which certainly they did)? Have a good day. Bob |
Bible Answer: Greetings Bob! I'll try to find more information on this concept! I am operating by memory, but what I was referring to is simply that we never see in Hebrew that God allowed something. The reason is a cultural one. Jews saw God as the ultimate cause of everything, so they saw it as appropriate to say that God caused something when someone else may have actually been the immediate cause. But, I'll try to find more detail! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
