What?? Why would God write us a book we can’t understand?? I have spent years studying God’s Word and it blows my mind, will I ever fully get every nugget out of it...probably not, but I certainly do understand that Genesis, creation is literal and Revelation is not like Genesis, nor is Daniel or Isaiah, they are prophetic books, it goes back to context.

Because an all powerful God wouldn’t be able to be understood through mere words and the vast limits of human language. There are scholars in the various Christian religions that have centuries of knowledge and theory backing their expertise and they’ll say that Genesis isn’t meant to be taken literally. I sincerely doubt that any of us can achieve that level of understanding without lots of training and studies.

Anyway, I don’t agree with you, but one thing I’ll never do is want you to be censored by anyone, especially the government. As long as people can argue and not be squelched then I see the great American idea at work. I need to go to bed though, so I can do Ok at work before Obamanomics gets my job too.

Have a great tomorrow and enjoy your studies!
