God First
Who can fathom the depth of Your love? The Giver of talent, the Saviour of our soul, in whom there is no variableness. Who ,more succinctly, can put the awesomeness of Him in proper perspective than this excerpt from Adam Clarke's Commentary? He is:
The eternal, independent, and self-existent Being: the Being whose purposes and actions spring from himself, without foreign motive or influence: he who is absolute in dominion; the most pure, the most simple, and most spiritual of all essences; infinitely benevolent, beneficent, true, and holy: the cause of all being, the upholder of all things; infinitely happy, because infinitely perfect; and eternally self-sufficient, needing nothing that he has made: illimitable in his immensity, inconceivable in his mode of existence, and indescribable in his essence; KNOWN FULLY ONLY TO HIMSELF (emphasis mine), because an infinite mind can be fully apprehended only by itself. In a word, a Being who, from his infinite wisdom, cannot err or be deceived; and who, from his infinite goodness, can do nothing but what is eternally just, right, and kind.
Back to my musing
That is Him and more inexhaustible credentials.
Inventions and inventorsFeaturing radicalism in ideas just like the renaissance of the 14th century, the days of questioning and hyper inquisitiveness, my teen years were interrogation loaded. Who amongst us was faced with a not less troubling question concerning Adam, Eve, Abel, Cain, and the wife? How many of us confronted this and are still doing so? Who found Cain? How? He knew his wife. Wife from where? Did you notice the big question? WIFE FROM WHERE? Here comes
the inventors and their inventions.
The airwaves are awash with inventions - explanations, theories, suggestions, likely sources of the WIFE. I ask again, WIFE FROM WHERE? There has been an innumerable attempt at filling in the gaps. Never have our abilities to be inventive been this active. Listening to 93.7 FM radio programme confirmed this.
PLEASE READ ON
Not just radio call-ins; Bible commentaries, preachments, teachings, but doubts have been the main culprit. The silent but deafening doubtful expressions from the Gentiles and we-"the called".
However, in the midst of your thoughtful abstraction, no one can fully define who God is and any attempt at closing the gaps in Bible accounts such as the sudden arrival of Cain's wife, should also provide the missing link with Christ walking on water (please consult Laws of Flotation), sand sight, resurrection, so on and on. The Bible is replete with so many of these. These actions are purely unscientific.
Christianity is a BELIEVING religion, any shift from believing to explaining, so as to clear doubts, brings to naught and snuffs the life out of Christianity - God forbid.
PLEASE READ ON
Just believe, if you'll believe that God exists - an existence you cannot explain. He also created the universe with the best laboratory set-ups - words? I do not think you have been gullible all these while? Trying to explain God's actions through a creation or the view point of man (science) is totally unacceptable. Who can question God? Just believe. Stop inventing explanations. It is BELIEVE! Or nothing else!
Finally, WHERE DID THE WIFE COME FROM? I don't know and neither do you. Just believe.
