Not just a line from an Incubus song, but also what many Christians believe is the result of simply asking questions like the ones I’m about to.

Does God not speak anymore?

Is the Bible simply God’s way of saying, “I’ve said my piece. There’s nothing more to say.”?

Is not God’s Word “living and active” as Paul wrote? Did Paul not also write that God’s Word “is at work in you who believe.“?

I’m just curious as to when God’s Word became bound in leather and black and white. When did God’s Word become ink and paper instead of life?

It just seems to me that there are way too many people consumed in knowing what the Bible says, and holding that to be the only thing God ever said. What then of the Holy Spirit? Of the Helper Jesus promised on several occasions?

Does the Holy Spirit not reveal Truth?

If it’s not in the pages of the Bible, then what? Does God stand silent today? I think the actions of many may give a life and truth to Nietzsche’s quote here:

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it? “

To confine God to your idea of God would, in fact, require you to be God. Do you not agree?

I think it’s best if we all just let God be God. I’m far too busy being a sinner to handle His affairs, but maybe you’re better at time management than I.
