Bible Note: Hello, charis, and greetings in Jesus' name, my friend and Christian brother. A hearty amen to your post. It grieves me that in our time so many people, including, alas, some professing Christians, hold the Almighty God in such seemingly low esteem that they want to question everything concerning not only His word but God himself. Whatever happened to the humble and contrite spirit that held God in absolute awe? Don't we need a daily booster shot from the last chapters (beginning in chapter 38) of the Book of Job in which God puts Job (and all mankind) in his place? Who are we, weak, sinful stumbling creatures that we are, to stare God in the face and dare impugn His motives, question His wisdom, or, perhaps even worse, to disagree with the transcendent God who molded us out of the dust of the earth. If we only knew what little we know, we'd certainly know more than we do now. I rejoice in your "humble opinion." -- Hank |
