Bible Teaching on Supernatural Phenomena Part [2] 09/13/2024 (Evening thought)

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The book of Genesis introduces God as a given, and it begins with the 1st week of supernatural activities which resulted in the creation of our world. Science stumbles on the how and when, but faith focuses on the bottom line which is that God indeed created all these things. Again, if science cannot explain the “how” it recoils from accepting the bottom-line facts of creation. It’s worthy of note that this was the same mindset that pervaded the clergy in Christ’s day, as they seemed to be always pressing for answers as to how this, or that miracle was done.

In the case of the blind man who was healed, they pressed him over and over again on the “How” even as they bypassed the bottom line that the man was indeed healed by Christ. But without a detailed, and exhaustive, scientific explanation, they refused to believe. That is exactly where science and the supernatural collide in the secular realm, for without any logical answer as to the “How” philosophers will generally refuse to believe.

John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 10 Therefore said they unto him, how were thine eyes opened?

John 9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
