Bad News for Brainy People

HARD SAYINGS Some of the truths of God are just plain hard to understand. Here is what happened to some of Christ's followers when they encountered some of his rock-hard nuts: "On hearing it, many of his disciples said, 'This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?' From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him." John 6:60,66 When you encounter some of these rock-hard nuts, you need to learn a lesson from the movie, Annie Hall: Woody Allen is standing in line with his date, Diane Keaton. They are discussing a book by Marshall McCullan. A bystander takes offense at their comments, and begins a heated argument against Woody's interpretations. Woody ends the argument when he physically produces Marshall McCullan himself to explain in person the actual meanings of his theories. I believe that many of the teachings in the Bible, especially the prophesies, the Psalms and the writings of Paul, are indeed rock-hard nuts. I also believe that the conflicts over interpretation that exist among the churches will finally be resolved -- when Christ himself or his servants the angels appear to Christians, and give us the correct interpretation to his Word. Prepare yourself for these divine encounters with the Living God! |
