Literary or Chronological



The message that is clearly conveyed here is one that expresses human resolve that mere mortals can never reach the level of complete understanding of creation but must lean towards impartial submission to a super naturalistic Creator. In essence, books that we read today and articles either by traditional or contemporary writers, no matter the sincerity, truth remains un-mined in Scripture. Divine truth is too immense for human minds to fathom but humans ought to grasp truth as it is and confront it with faith. Pure faith. Resting faith. Empowering faith. No, we are not being denied knowledge but we are given permission to be inconclusive in our attempts to scrutinize creation scientifically. “Knowledge is power” says the world, but what is knowledge other than foolishness to God (1 Corinthians 3:19). Neither are we left with a void and to concede that our pursuit of knowing God is vanity. Origins is designed with continuum in mind. God’s plan which is of absolute order is for us to be in that order and live by his complete Word which is to be our spiritual oxygen to simply appreciate, yes, appreciate and adore the glory of his provision. Literary or chronological, the debate may linger. Yet let us not stagnate over which has dominance but may we look ahead to see more of what God has in store for us which is his Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. That’s our origin. That’s our destiny. Here and now.
