Paul,
Following my comments on the popular dictum, 'nothing supernatural,
please',
permit me to ask what you make of Job 1:6-12 and 2:1-7. As I see it,
we are
here given 'snapshots' of what must constantly be taking place in the
courts
of heaven as the Lord exercises control over his creation - guiding it
inexorably toward its intended fulfilment.
Clearly, certain potential implications are associated with this
view. For
example, is it now reasonable to believe that scientists are
completely free
to pursue what they believe to be _meaningful_ lines of inquiry when
these
must inevitably result in the undermining of the revealed truth of
the J-C
Scriptures? How could they possibly know whether or not their
observations
were being stage-managed by the Devil?
Paul, in view of such possibilities, I would expect you to vigorously
refute
my understanding that these snapshots represent precious fragments of
revealed truth. But, on what grounds?
