Bible Note: Brother, Doc, the content of this thread has just reminded me of something our dear departed brother Hank wrote. And I'm glad I asked him if I could quote him on it before he went home to be with the Lord. I think it fits very well hear and now, that, this thread is getting a bit off corse when it comes to studying the Scriptures for all their worth! This is an edited version because the autograph was about a particular part of the holy writ, so I've taken the liberty to amend it to fit a wider field. I hope brother Hank doesn't mind too much, and I hope that it's taken in the spirit that it's intended and not offend anyone. :-) John “I lay no claim whatever to any expertise on matters involving High Theology or anything of the kind, so I'm fairly well limited when it comes to trying to connect the dots. And that is good! It forces me to attempt to speak only where the Bible speaks and to keep my mouth shut where the Bible is silent. I have enough trouble learning and digesting what the Bible clearly reveals, and so it leaves me no time to speculate and ruminate on the things which our loving and all-wise Father chose not to elaborate. God's eternal and unchanging word will be around long after I'm gone. Few indeed are they who care about my opinions now, and fewer still will remember them after I've gone. So my candid view about questions such as call for speculations is this: If God did not choose to reveal details, is it our business to worry very much about them? I really don't believe that God expects us to fill in the blanks ourselves nor needs man to take over where He left off, do you? Just how important is it to know about such things? The narrative has endured and imparted the message it was intended to impart for centuries as it is, without being gussied up with all these minute frills and details. Let's be content to learn from it all that it clearly reveals without tarnishing the sacred record by adding our worthless speculation and groundless guesses.” –Hank |
