Subject: Why does the Bible say days and nights? |
Bible Note: Hi, Bob! You are correct! I did not mean to infer that we should not seek answers--Jesus Himself commanded us to seek the Kingdom of God (Matthew 7:7)... my concern is that we do not become so clinical as to loose sight of the real goal: Christ Jesus. Some of the times we will find answers even when we are not searching for them; other times we will knock our heads off in futile attempts to find discernment and it will evade us just as we are almost tasting it! Our Faith should be centered on Jesus' words to Thomas (John 20:29)... so it is good to seek answers but always remembering that if there's something lacking it is not God's Word that has shortcomings, it is our understanding that is deficient!
