John 13:16 – Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
Job 38:1-3 – “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? 3 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.”
Job 40:2 – “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!”
Job 42:1-6 – Then Job replied to the Lord: 2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. 4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ 5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. 6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
One does not ask why the greater does not conform to the lesser. One asks why the lesser does not conform to the greater. It is natural for those without true and, or, mature knowledge to ask why doesn’t the Bible conform to science. That is not a correct question. The correct question is why science doesn’t conform to the Bible. Science cannot disprove the Bible, instead the Word of God shows the error of whatever attempts to contradict it! Family, for us who have been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age (Hebrews 6:4-5), it is great folly to let the world shape the discussion about God. They wave their philosophy and their science about and are shocked when we care not for their argument. Even those who sit in the seats next to us at church fall into the weakness and shamefulness of believing that the Bible must give account of itself to human philosophy and human understanding of the rules of the universe. Don’t let the majority error sway you from the true knowledge of the narrow path. (Matthew 7:1-14) Those of the world think that they can, with the brains that God gave to them, philosophize a way to overrule or discredit the very existence of the one who gave them their brain? They think that they can tell of the universe, how it was created, how it exists and what its future is, to the one who created it, sustains it, and has set a schedule for its demise? How arrogant and foolish! Family who is anyone of mankind to say that their wisdom and knowledge is greater than the wisdom and knowledge of God. It is outrageous for the very ones who will stand before God to be judged by him to attempt to judge the Judge. Their lack of understanding is as obvious as one who walks naked down the busy boulevard. God is the judge of all. All that a person thinks, says and does will be judged by God. (Romans 2:16, Ecclesiastes 12:14) Let’s not let their foolish questions be ours. God is higher and greater than anyone or anything. So when someone asks us to justify the Word of God to their science or philosophy, let us tell them that they err. To be correct, they need to find the wisdom and knowledge in science and philosophy that actually aligns itself with the Word of God and not vice-a-versa. Right does not need to correct itself to be wrong. Wrong needs to correct itself to be right!
Isaiah 55:8-9 – “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
God is greater than all. We can only understand the fact that God is infinitely greater than us but we cannot know how that is or how much it is! Praise God! Honor God! Praise God!
Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.
Micah 6:8 – He has shown You, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.
Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.”
