Subject: Is the Bible itself evil? |
Bible Note: Merlin, Gandalf..... yes, I did a little melding of tales there. Another interesting story to read is CS Lewis' autobiography -- Surprised by Joy. He, too, longed for a mythical world that was foreign to his modern era. He was interested in Norse legends and ancient mythologies, but only believed in a "scientific" description as real. God pursued him, and won his searching mind. You sound resigned when you say "I guess I don't know how to." God, however, is not resigned, but full of surprises. JRM |
