> If they, through this process of reason, manage to discover some divine grain of truth. That truth will permeate the concsiousness of all men who understand that applying the knowledge gained will improve their lives and the lives of those around them. Proving the truth by manifesting it into their reality through working and refining their understanding.
What makes us Christians though is that we believe the gospel and are saved when we do it. And even through 50 years of contemplation in a cave in Tibet - you’ll never learn that Jesus gave his life for us and that by believing that you are saved.
> Sometimes God gifts us by injecting truth directly into our world. Like Exodus 20 God introducing himself to Moses and the life of Jesus.
the Bible is God teaching us about his plan and himself. This is how we can learn about Jesus, gospel, what God wants.
> We fallible men who are originally created in the image of God are the benefactors of divine truth and seek to understand it and when we realise something profound we seek to preserve it. I believe that this is a miracle of creation. That men could discover truth by reason of desire to understand pain and suffering in a dark world.
Adam was created in the image of God. We are in the image of Adam.
> This makes the love of Christ for the oikoumene in John 3:16 more powerful and understandable. Because if God loves anything less than that He is diminished. When claimed that men who are created in His image and animated by his spirit are less than capable to discover, understand and manifest truth in the world. All glory to Him for being the source by virtue of being the creator. We can clearly see where he injected truth directly into the world.
Yes. And you learn it from the Bible, which God revealed to us.
> Man's fallibility is a gift to us.
No. It is a result of sin.
