>>"just skip past those complications and look a the big picture"? In other words, don't confuse the issue with logic or facts. If it's unreasonable, it proves itself.

No, that is not what I meant. I merely had a reference to the fact that understanding the Bible and all the complications of prophecy and his laws, etc. is challenging sometimes, and many persons don't understand these things in the proper light. It takes a lot of work and a lot of study to coordinate everything. And many persons don't understand everything. And sometimes you do need a "prophet" to properly put things into their correct context.

So if these issues are bogging you down, it is still good to understand that God's ultimate goal and purpose is to establish Paradise on Earth for those children of Adam who might have lived and chosen pure worship and love of God had Adam not sinned before they were born.

So besides dealing with the complex details, it is good to step back and look at the big picture or the END result. That way, you keep in focus God's original intentions for obedient mankind.

But...if you have an interest in Scripture. Are brave enough to accept that the Bible is inspired and God's word, then all the wonders of Scripture will unfold for you and everything is totally harmonious. But that is usually something for the "insiders" and the believers. Those who do not believe usually find the Bible confusing, contradictory or complex. The Bible was written as a general guide to mankind but there are many things in it specifically to be understood by the anointed and not to be understood by unbelievers who tend to want to judge God without understanding everything.

That's what I meant. When the details get too complex, just step back and look at the big picture and have faith all will be well.

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers,
