The iconic comedian George Carlin often derided the Bible by
saying whenever there was something that seemed a bit wacky,
he explained it in a mocking tone saying,
“Well…It’s A MYSTERY.”
While a humorous tag line, it raises an interesting question.
Does that mean that
because we don’t understand something, therefore it
must be UNTRUE?!?
That was the dilemma Sir Isaac Newton faced after
discovering the principle of gravity. He proved scientifically it existed,
but did not know HOW it worked, and today we STILL don’t
understand how it works, yet we all depend upon it!
Does that mean gravity is untrue?
Likewise, just because there are parts of the Bible that are not
understandable doesn’t mean the entire
book is a false fable of fabrications.
The Bible says that all scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16) and that
God cannot lie (Titus 1:2), so given that, while we may not totally
understand, we can totally trust it is true.
Are you open to trusting God at His Word, even
if you do not fully understand it?
