Bible Note: Hi, Hank! In no way was I inferring that the Bible is incomplete or lacking. I simply attempted to express that for God to have filled the Bible with scientific terms and theories (pi, law of relativity, or gravity, mach speed, calculus, artificial inteligence, nuclear submarine, rocket fuel...) would have been terms that would be too foreing for Israel to engage themselves with, and, what is more important, none of them would bring them (and us) closer to knowing God since only through His Grace do we come to know Him! My explanation was thusly made because I have come across many posts which basically denote a scientific-philosophycal perspective. I attempted to explain that we cannot seek God through sicence, philosophy or any other human "wisdom;" as 1 Corinthians 2:10 attests: to us, though, God has given revelation through the Spirit, for the Spirit explores the depths of everything, even the depths of God. God Bless! Angel |
