Bible Question:
Now, Doc, I am sure you are correct. In the passage in question it is nature that speaks. Or can we say it is God speaking through nature? Paul says in Romans 2 that conscience speaks. Can we say it is God who speaks through the instrumantality of the conscience? And you have pointed out that God's revelation of his eternal purpose and plan are in the scriptures. Can we say that God speaks through the scriptures? If the answer to these questions is Yes, then I will be gratified because it will make it easier to ask the original question again. And I will ask it in light of the fact we have been using the present tense throughout. The idea would be that God is still speaking. The question then is: What is he saying today? If you want to limit the message to scripture, that is fine. |
Bible Answer: I have done a bunch of writing. Graciously, someone published some of them. I am also a systems designer. People have paid me to design systems for them. Today I speak to others through my writings, even though I am a long way away thinking about other things. I speak to others through my computer systems. Both groups know something about me now. However, my systems do not speak for me. They speak about me. The writings speak for me. In the same way, look at Hebrews 1:1-2 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;" God still speaks through His revealed word. The world still speaks of its Creator. God is saying today exactly what He was saying when the last bit of ink was penned in Revelation. He is saying, "Come, Repent, for the Kingdom of God is here." God does not tell us anything new. The revelation is closed. The canon is closed. (If it weren't we'd have problems because the bible says, "Man lives by every word of God" so we would have to be busy collecting everything God said everywhere! Santan is not bound by his own promises. So if you want to have a miraculous manifestation, I'm sure he can produce one. |
