It strikes me that language and the written word are just as suspect as imagery - just as incapable of clarity or purity of thought. Yes, Christ did make the Word known and we recorded it in a book. Yes the Scriptures are sacred, inerrant, inspired, etc. Yet our interpretation of that word leads to vastly different conclusions. I’m not talking about gross heresy here necessarily. Even within the pale of orthodoxy, there are differences of interpretation which show words to be imprecise, and wanting. I realize I loathe this imprecision. We were made for understanding. These broken vessels (language, human bodies) are poor for holding truth, and they are poor for dispensing truth.
Poor.
Poor.
Poor.
Come Lord Jesus, quickly!
