Jeff resonerar på ett sätt jag finner tilltalande, men han får konstruktiv kritik i en efterföljande post av Mark Galli.
En kort summering för dig som inte orkar sätta dig in. Det hela handlar om hur vi brottas med Gud. Är vi bara lera på marken som tyst ska finna oss i allt vi tror Gud gör eller är vi människor som ska och bör ställa våra frågor? När är det högmod att protestera och när bör vi göra det? etc.
Mycket spännande frågeställningar!

Några citat:
Från första bloggposten:
“The point [of Job] is that the man who accepts our ordinary standard of good and by it hotly criticizes divine justice receives the divine approval: the orthodox, pious people who palter with that standard in the attempt to justify God are condemned. Apparently the way to advance from our imperfect apprehension of justice to the absolute justice is not to throw our imperfect apprehensions aside but boldly to go on applying them”
C.S. Lewis
Från kommentarsfältet:
“Do not try to believe anything that affects you as darkness. Even if you mistake and refuse something true thereby, you will do less wrong to Christ by such a refusal than you would by accepting as His what you can only see as darkness.”
George MacDonald
“Given the complexities of any interpretation of the Bible as a whole… the facade of bowing humbly before the Scriptures is no excuse for accepting, in opposition to your own deep-rooted moral convictions, a seemingly blasphemous picture of God”
Thomas Talbott
"...the question is not “Why is this aspect of God worthy of worship?” but rather “Which of the competing stories about God will I believe and practice in my life?”
