(Gen 1:1-2 KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Any rational person cannot help but ask the question - who was there at the beginning documenting the origins of existence?
If I were God and in the middle of my creative moment, I certainly wouldn’t stop what I was doing to take notes, besides, who would I be taking notes for?
Everything created is totally self documenting. Anyone who was there or who witnessed the events and after effects can plainly see the evidence, so why would any witness need a book, film or theatrical re-enactment to help them believe or remember what occurred?
Such records are really only necessary to capture such events for those who missed it.
Parents take photos of their children at birth, yet their children continue to grow and evolve beyond their baby years. The photos remain, purely as a reminder of those earlier years…. Why do we keep such records, when the truth has moved on?
So…. who wrote the Bible and why did he, she or they, bother?
One thing is for sure, the Bible like any other book, was written by men and women, for men and women, in a language that men and women understood, at that time and place.
A record of events (especially in words), could never fully capture the events themselves, they can only give a taste of what occurred through expressive language. And even with our amazing technology that allows us to capture sound and vision over prolonged periods of time in a ‘virtual reality’, we still cannot capture the atmosphere, the smells, the temperature, the feelings, etc..... the ‘truth’ still eludes our media.
Truth is alive, all records, regardless of conspired animation, are inadequate and dead.
So someone found the ‘Dead sea scrolls’ and people get excited. Yet the living and unwritten book is around us all the time…. and people get depressed. If you have lungs to learn, breathe it in, this is the most precious gift you’ll ever receive.
Inspired and prophetic men, who listened and lived in love with our creator, wrote scripture in humility, wisdom and faith, to awaken the blind and the ignorant. It really doesn’t matter whether you cling to the vocalisation of: OM; Aum, Iam or Amen… truth is now, not in the virtual memories or contrary expressions of man.
Yet… intelligent men spend years dissecting the things around us and conclude that life boils down to DNA, that atoms come from nothing, monkeys can be turned into men by radiation and in authority teach these ‘facts’ till our children pass out. So who can pass their teachings and tests, to grasp this magnificent book that binds us, in love, as one?
(Mat 23:15 KJV) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
