RE: Science is Really the Affirmation of our Faith
"However, our faith, our receiving of the Holy Spirit are necessarily fallible because our world and everything in it (including us) are corrupt."... I might not understand what you are saying here, but are you saying that God's Holy Spirit in us is fallible, because of us? Not exactly sure what you are trying to convey here.
Overall, I loved your post. There is truth. Truth can be known. We can't fully know Him, but we can know Him. He has given us His Word for that very purpose. So that we might know Him, know Truth. I defintely believe that we can know Him here and now. But perhaps few take the time to intimately know Him. And yet we will know Him more when we are face to face. We only know Him because of His Spirit in us. We bring nothing. It's Him; and Him in us. How perfect.
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable. ~Pro. 25:2-3
Thank you for such a wonderful post. May God use His people to be a voice to a lost and broken world!
To clarify the above quote of mine, I meant that although God is infallible, we with our human limitations are fallible. Therefore, our relationship with God is less than perfect in this fallen world. However, when we receive new bodies, and when the new heaven and earth are created, we will then begin to understand God from the context of pure righteousness.
Of course, God is Almighty, and no one can look upon his face and live. However, I believe that we will relate to our Father in a way that's simply impossible in our fleshly state.
I hope that clarifies...God bless you!
Yeah, I was just a little bit confused, as to what you were saying! Sometimes things are clearer in face to face conversations :) But, thanks for the reply, and again, a wonderful post. It leaves me encouraged and inspired.
~Many Blessing!
