The Mystery of God

It’s just human nature; we want answers to questions. We want that so bad that we try to explain the unexplainable. We keep trying to map out the mind of God, and none of us really has the ability to do that.

Sometimes atheists, or skeptics in general, come up with hard questions there is no good answer to. Christians will try to answer, but a better approach would be to embrace the mystery.

Some things are not answerable. Can God build a rock too big for God to move?

Yesterday I was writing about the difference between Bible study and spirituality. This is more about spirituality. You can read that story here.

There are things we don’t know. Why were we created in the first place? There are paradoxes, or tensions, like God building a rock too big to move. The answer is not in figuring it out. The answer is in delving into the mystery itself.
