RE: Day 664: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: deceive

Hi, and thanks for reading.

This is a complicated issue and one of its complications is not to offend the feelings of people who, like you, put so much hope in God and his grace.

Let me put it this way... Let's say there is incontestable proof that the Bible is written by a man or rather by a coalition of men sometimes in the seven-century BC just like beautiful Greek legends were written about Zeus, Apollo, and Hercules.

What would this proof mean to the millions of people who find in God consolations, justification and the set of moral virtues to maintain? Absolute disarray and spiritual disaster. They’d be sitting ducks for any kind of ideological diversion and that’s what’s happening in the Western world right now with cultural Marxism. To me who lived under the Soviet dictatorship, its advancement is odd and scary to look at.

It’s like the Tree of Knowledge that God forbade Adam and Eve to eat from. In other words, any new knowledge needs to fall in a prepared mind or else it causes a disaster like the nuclear explosion. )
