Truth, Belief and the BibleOrder, pattern, method, harmony and purpose - these are the qualities on which we, humanity, have come to base our existence. We strive to find meaning in everything we do, say, read, write and experience. A story is not just a story; it's a lesson. A thought is not just a thought, but a revelation. Difficulties are not just misfortune, but an act of God. Truth is seen as the result of a divine arrangement - an intricate and complex arrangement, which is ultimately revealed to us in glorious realization. We believe there is logic behind everything. The key is to unlock or uncover the pattern that hides this logic. All truths must have a model. The Bible, as a body of literature, exists because human beings need to know certain spiritual truths that we cannot access on our own. Thus, these truths must come to us from outside, that is to say by an objective and special revelation from God. God speaks to us saying, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You will have no other gods before me. »1 This passage, the first of the Ten Commandments, can only be understood by interpreting the words [1] of Scripture according to God's original design for language. That is to say according to the ordinary, clear and literal meaning of each word. To understand the Bible, we must take it literally. In doing so, we assume that because God has sovereignly chosen to use human language as a means of revelatory communication, He would generally use it, and expect us to use it in its literal, normal, and plain sense. . But what is the model behind literal meaning? Which... middle of paper ... would be more common than total darkness or a total eclipse, which would occur less often. It could be argued that the Order of the Ten Commandments and the Order of the Ten Plagues on Egypt were necessary in relation to their ability to persuade the people of that time. There was reasoning and logic behind their arrangement and they were written to persuade people to believe. Today this trend is less obvious, because over time we have gained knowledge and changed our values. The order, if it ever existed, is no longer relevant or necessary for interpreting the commandments and the plagues.[1] Exodus 20:1-17, Revised Standard Version[2] Exodus 7:14-24.
