Furthermore, Scripture provides us with answers to difficult questions. Rather than doing serious research, struggling in prayer and engaging in vigorous debate we often allow our personal feelings to dictate what we believe.
More than that, we live in an age of tolerance. When we encounter a doctrine which runs counter to our own predisposition we are regularly tempted to merely shrug our shoulders in defeat and say: “You are free to believe what you believe and I will continue to believe what I believe. There’s no way to be certain who is correct.”
While there are certainly passages in Scripture that are difficult to understand, I think that too often we throw in the towel too early. It is my opinion that if we took the time, Scripture would provide us with solid answers to many if not most of our uncertainties.
