Easier Answers!
Reading in Psalms recently, as I often liked to do when I was formerly diligent tin my past, I came across where one Psalmist wrote that God did not require sacrifice and offerings.
Think of it! As far back as David yet, and they were still doing it in Jesus time. I was already at the time a little uncomfortable recalling when Jesus got so angry with the temple clergy, with me thinking Jesus loved and forgave everybody.
The answer for me was easier than I could expect, right there in front of me. It was the same answer as when. Jesus wanted everyone know He could forgive sins after He healed a woman and told her to sin no more. It is right there in the theme of the text.
He wanted them to know He could forgive sins. And I thought it was sins that made her sick. I was complex and Jesus was simple, just like it says He learned from God.
It is not vital chapter and verse. I tend to relate to words and let the numerologing go. What matters is that I know few answers to a myriad of questions. There will always even more questions to know that I could ever answer.
It is like living in the little barrel thinking it is the entire world. The universe the physical scientist discovers it is expanding when it is only his awareness that is expanding.
The universe is not expanding, it is our awareness that is expanding. How simple can it be more than that? I used to say here that God is simple, it is we who are complex but I did not know the half of it.
The answers for me are only easier because I cannot prove answers. I have to decide what answers to believe. Can I see gravity? Can I see even electric? What about electro-magnetic? One can see what it can do but not how. Everything seen came from the unseen.
My view is it is the Spirit that is the sole source of the greater power.
