A while ago someone commented to me: That’s why I’ve never read the Bible. There are just too many unanswered questions and too many ways to interpret it. There is just too much that is unknown.
I thought about this comment on the day when there are two Bible Studies and Confirmation class. It makes me sad this person finds that the way to reconcile the discrepancies of scripture is to simply avoid reading it. What treasures and assurances they are missing!
Yes, scripture sometimes leaves us with questions we cannot find answers for, and inconsistencies that cause us to wonder, but throughout it all we hear of God’s love and care. Seems to me that makes it worth the effort to read.
Blessings.
