I had a better understanding of the author's statement, God's ways are paradoxical and hidden to human reason when I went to his website and saw that he is a Lutheran. While I was a LCMS Lutheran, I ran into this kind of "it's a mystery" theology quite often.

I guess I didn't quite look at it they way many of you are and I'm not familiar with Lutheran doctrine but you may be right Suzy. When the author talks of God's ways being "paradoxical and hidden to human reason" I think of Paul's writings where he talks of paradoxes. Rereading the article from you perspective I must admit I'm a little confused.

2Co 6:8-10 " by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.

Good observation suzy. By the way, I think your "about" page has it right on target...
