The Mystery Pass
A question for my sda friends. The Bible has some troubling parts, God killing the first born Egyptians, condoning slavery etc and if I were to press you on these troubling parts of the Bible my guess is you’d say something like, “He works in mysterious ways, his ways are above our ways, we can’t know these things but we have to trust in his loving character or something along those lines”. Other faith traditions have their troubling parts as well, but rather than giving them the sane “God is mysterious” pass you give your own sacred texts, you probably say the troubling parts of their scriptures are proof that their religion is false. My question is, what has convinced you to give your God a mystery pass?
