How the Bible Can Help Make Sense of Our Chaos

Article Date - 07/10/2016

The author's comment "the Bible, whether we like it or not, presents just as many questions as it does answers", "If you truthfully engage the story of God and David, you must live, not in black or white categories of good and evil, but in the maddening category of gray ", and "Good questions are better than good answers. Questions unite people. Answers divide them", is a slight of hand to undermine the authority of the Bible. "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

The Bible does not raise more questions to the converted. The unconverted, like this chaplain, are the ones that find confusion. To declare the Bible but gray content is to undermine "God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints" (1 Corinthians 14:33).

And then we have the ultimate motive of declaring that it is best not to get answers from the Bible but rather choose to be united, even if doctrines are sacrificed? "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed" (2 John 1:7-10). So this chaplain should not receive acknowledgement of being a minister of Christ. She is the enemy trying to help antichrist unify all religions to have the wrong "one mind".
