Uh huh. 8^>
Also, as I read some parts of the old testament, I notice what appears to be authors from an ancient, primitive culture trying to describe places, things and events that could surpass the creativity of even modern science fiction. The descriptions really seem to have no meaning to the contemporaries of the writers.
For example, Ezekiel 1, the whole chapter.
The Bible is, indeed, a very exciting book - on many planes.
Indeed, RobRoy. And yes, Ezekiel clearly deals with an experience in a time dimension that is extra to the 3+1 of "normal" space-time experience.
As Francis Schaeffer was fond of saying, "God tells us truly, but not exhaustively." What the Holy Scriptures give us is God's Truth -- but not exhaustively. More like fascinating hints and clues that we can try to "match up" with His other "Book," the Book of Creation, i.e., the Book of the Natural World.
I have yet to find an example of either of these books contradicting the other. They seem to "go together."
So certainly, I agree with your conclusion, RobRoy: "The Bible is, indeed, a very exciting book - on many planes."
Thank you so much for writing!
