Questions....

        

                                       

                                                             My secret...

                                          ...is my greatest haunting question...

                                              It is about God and The Holy Bible.

                                  I do not question the Bibles authenticity or validity. Quite the contrary, I believe It's every word.

              But something haunts my inside. The question of all questions, the one I am terrified to ask.

                               

                               Is God bigger and greater than the Bible?

                                                

                                                 How could he not be?

                                   Is He Himself limited in power and scope by the very words he gave us to know who He is?

       It is a dangerous question and nearly impossible to legitimately answer all the questions that inevitably follow it. 

                I think about the Pharisees who devoutly followed Gods laws.

   The Words didn't change, but the outlook on those Words did, when Jesus came. Without changing a dot or a tiddle, He toppled how those still same words were seen...

   To be fair, The New Testament was added. Salvation and the Holy Spirit kind of changed everything....

      The heart became the greatest judgement and law was still law. It just was not paramount anymore, as Jesus freed us from it, and it became more a common sence guide to people who were freed from its bondage.

   I think of us today, so sure in our interpretations, being smarter, purer and with 2000 years of historical perspective those before us lacked.

      So the question that now begs being asked, is it even remotely possible that exact same situation could happen again?!?

        

             Could we find out, that in our arrogance and hubris, that we too are missing a perspective that only God has, and has not yet chosen to share or enlighten us with, yet?

      Could it not yet be His time for that day, today?

      Could the words be there, still unchanged, but not perceived by us yet?

                                                         I don't know.

                                It happened to those smarter than us, experts in the Words, in the past.

                                Does the Holy Spirit make this question mute?

                                          I really don't know. My leanings change at times.

                         As I said, I do not doubt the Words. I sometimes question our ability to adequately decipher them and if, at this time, we have all the information and perspective that God does?

                                                         How could we?

                    Is it possible He will share a soul changing perception of His never changing words later, still not adding a dot or tiddle, but just a different point of view?

                            Can you answer this with any certainty?

                    Is it possible that The infinite, loving, unchanging God is greater than the 774746 Words He inspired to be written?

                                            This is my secret, haunting question...

               I should probably stop thinking and start watching re-runs of " Gilligan's Island"...
