Bible Question:
I have 3 different ones, sorry. These were put to me by a non- believer. Deuteronomy 28:53 Ezekiel 4-12 Isaiah 16:11 Of course I know taken out of context, but need help with an answer. Strong words, here, and does leave one wondering, why so harsh? Help me please. Thank you in advance for all your help here |
Bible Answer: Hello dotandro, Hopefully I'm understanding what you're asking? This is a non-believer who is presenting "alleged Bible difficulties"? Here's a quick thought or two. Rick Ritchie deals with this in the current issue of Modern Reformation. In his article, "What to do When the Bible Doesn't Make Sense", he states" "As with any belief system of any complexity, we believe because the central case is compelling to us, not because we comprehend how everything works. If someone presents you with a Bible difficulty, before you spend even a minute of time wrestling with it, determine how important it really is. 'Would a satisfying answer to this question lead you to adopt the Christian faith?' is a good question to ask. If the answer is no, then move on. You can also guide the person in thinking through which questions should be crucial." I hope this helps, BradK |
