Have You Ever Misinterpreted the Bible?
Does the Bible Have all the Answers?
Here’s what happened: I would hold up a copy of the Bible and proclaim—
“This book is the Word of God and within its pages you’ll find answers to all of life’s questions!”
Well, the first part of the statement is absolutely true, but not the second. All of life’s questions are not answered in its pages.
Question: Why does God permit faithful missionaries to be slaughtered? Why does He allow innocent little children to suffer the agony of incurable diseases, or slowly starve to death by the untold thousands around the globe?
Which chapter among the 1189 provides answers to these questions?
No, the Bible does not down here address them. It does however give comfort to the one who asks them, along with the promise that some day, up there a full explanation will be forthcoming!
