Bible Question: I'm trying to stay away from particulars because I don't want to revisit or rehash old ground. If what you responded is true. Would you tell me why you think God would have allowed such to be included, in the Bible knowing that it would cause confusion and debate in generations of future? |
Bible Answer: I can't speak for God, and I know you're not claiming to either. To be honest, I haven't found any significant situations that I haven't found a way to understand in a good sense. God's message is perfect, but we aren't. He spoke to a church that was developing, and by extension to us. Sometimes His audience was more specific than other times. I am not trying to beat around the bush, but I don't think that the problem is so much in God allowing seeing contradictions as much as it is man's pride, ignorance and conceit that leads to much of what divides us as believers. Because of those qualities, we will never be able to perfectly comprehend a perfect God who is above us in all ways. We must be responsible with what we have, and learn to handle the Word well. |
