Theologians today have a hard time just believing the Bible as it is written.
As in believing the simple, straight-forward interpretation of God’s words.
As if, God actually meant what He inspired. That He meant it to be understood simply. And to be believed it is without error.
And without the any theological twisting of His meaning into some symbolic, analogous, general thought. Instead of the amazing, wonderful truth that He “breathed out” through the writers of His words.
This is a problem all throughout the church today. Not simply among the expected unbelief of the Mainline denominations; who long ago abandoned the literal and straight-forward meaning of God’s words.
But this is also a problem common among those who claim to be born-again, who believe, supposedly, in the word-for-word inerrancy of the written word of God.
We will get just about any kind of interpretation you can think of today. And it continues to get worse and worse.
But in the end, what if, seriously, what if God actually meant what He said? That He used the exact words that conveyed His exact meaning so that those men in the beginning of the world as well as those men in our current age could all understand and stand upon?
What IF He actually spoke the words to convey the meaning which even the most “simple” among us could understand?
Such as the historical account of the earth and creation from the very first words of Genesis.
What IF that historical record might actually be true and accurate?
Despite the vehement contradictions of popular scientific consensus or popular cultural practices or the basic unbelief of the vast majority of supposedly “intellectual” and “academic” and ecclesiastical leaders?
But, of course, what would we do with all those more enlightened theologians who continue to muddy the waters of truth with their commentaries?
What would become of them?
