Perspective

The Link.

Every response to people, to circumstances, to ideas - you name it - EVERY response we make is determined by our perspective. If you believe the Bible is false or has errors, there's no reason for you to believe it over anyone or anything.

But if you believe that the Bible is perfect and true, then rather than seeing it as at odds with reality, you see how it and reality are bound together. If God is Creator and Sustainer of all, then God is the foundation of reality. Reality is whatever God wants it to be, and whatever God makes it to be.

Your perspective will determine what happens when you observe something that seems at odds with what God has said. If you really do believe that God is and that He said it, you'll either not worry about it because it's too small a thing to be bothered about, or you'll realize that you NEVER have a complete picture. If you don't believe that God is or that He said it, you'll come to the conclusion that the Bible is erroneous, that God is a liar, or that God doesn't exist at all.

In short, you can't be blinded by the Bible if you're actually going BY THE BIBLE. Observation and experience aren't enough because we're limited; only God is not bound by those confines.

And a funny ending note: My husband read that blog from Untwisting and said something like, "You'll be blinded? Then why are their eyes are sticking out?" It gave me many giggles; hope you get some, too. =D
