Christianity, Critical Thinking, Daddy Freeze: Unanswered Questions In The Bible -By Nneka Okumazie

The colorful deceit of the world is to question the Word of GOD. There are so many examples in the Scriptures against the physical and selfish thinking of the world.

The Bible is a physical book with lots of Spirit secrets. The Spiritual nature of the Scriptures makes it contradictory to natural desires, attitudes and how the mind works.

Anyone can pick any story in the Bible to doubt or mock because it seems so to them. But, doing so shows the person has far less understanding than assumed.

Life and time changes, but human nature remains closely similar. Whatever was done in the Scriptures may look like old, but thoughts, behavior, action, etc. are often similar – naturally for humans regardless of classifications.

The Bible is mainly for devout Christians. It provides examples to them on life, Faith, commitment, obedience, hope, testimony, possibilities, teachings, etc.

It is so that they can see what the physical way leads to and where the Spirit way leads to, in this world and beyond.

The Word of GOD is the Truth. Anyone can believe, argue, or postulate.

[John 17:17, Sanctify them through Thy Truth: thy word is Truth.] [Psalm 119:89, Forever, O LORD, Thy Word is settled in Heaven.]

Christ once told an individual, sell all, give to the poor, for treasure in Heaven and come and follow Me. The individual went away sorrowful. This, or close to is likely to be the reaction of many, if asked similarly. [Luke 18:22, Now when JESUS heard these things, He said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven: and come, follow Me.]

Also, in the Scriptures, there are example of meekness and forgiveness at points of death. Also, to never be eager to take advantage – powerful, hurt or seemingly disadvantaged. [Luke 23:34, Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His raiment, and cast lots.] [Acts 7:60, And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, LORD, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.]

Many people think critical thinking applies to the Scriptures. NO, it doesn’t.

Critical thinking is of the world, with evidence, studies and corroborations, but the Scripture is Spiritual ways.

How come there are no critical thoughts on why humans have tendency for bitterness, spite, anger, wickedness, envy, deception, desperation, pride, lust, unknown intentions, evil, hate, strife, etc.

Some have been explained by science, but scientific solution to some or all are almost impossible.

Critical thinking works great physically but taking on the Bible as critical thinking is foolishness.

The most formidable critics of the Scriptures use the physical to judge the Word of GOD. GOD is a Spirit. GOD is perfect. GOD is Holy.

GOD does not make mistakes. Where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty. Anyone can think that GOD does not have control over what He made, but that is false, He does, He’s Supreme Sovereign and chooses what He does or doesn’t.

[Psalm 115:3, But our GOD in the Heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.] [Proverbs 15:3, The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.] [Psalm 115:16, The Heaven, the Heavens, [are] the LORD’S: but the earth hath He given to the children of men.] [John 20:29, JESUS saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.]

Theoretical physicists are seeking what happened before the Big Bang. Psychologists are giving names to mind and behavior problems growing the list of disorders. Technology is making people have more knowledge to criticize anything.

But no knowledge or finding is superior to the Word of GOD. Heaven cannot be seen by a telescope, or visited by a rocket.

The understanding of humans about many things is still limited at best. Even in artificial intelligence, it is difficult to explain or interpret how tons of machine learning algorithms work, making computer scientists seek explainable or interpretable AI.

The Spiritual nature of the Scriptures should make people cautious of how they discuss the Scriptures, but deceit that they know better is their fall.

[John 4:24, GOD [is] a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship [Him] in Spirit and in Truth.] [Genesis 1:2, 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.] [Genesis 41:38, And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of GOD is?]
