I think essentially you have hit on what is horrifying about it all: teaching something as truth which is really just an opinion, based on human perception and error. It is why it is so important that we are careful about we what we believe and what we teach and always need to be open to correction. And I think that is what bothers me- our laziness in simply accepting what our culture is telling us, rather than checking it all against the wisdom of God.Phvernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697015924227579509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644731870463330367.post-34972898953597448032010-01-23T06:47:53.100-08:002010-01-23T06:47:53.100-08:00I know this is horrifying. However, I have ceased...I know this is horrifying. However, I have ceased to be horrified by this type of thing and find that I am, instead, humbled. <br /><br />It seems to me that having a cultural viewpoint that is part of you, and unrecognizable by you, is an inevitable part of being human. I have it, you have it, they had it. We can recognize theirs only because we're in a different time and have a different cultural viewpoint (equally flawed, we just don't know how). Our capacity to know ourselves objectively is nonexistent -- it is only God who really knows us and sees our true selves. Whatever glimmers of truth we see are gifts from God, and we should continually ask for wisdom and live by the guidance we receive. However, it will be tainted and we won't know it. It's humbling, isn't it? Thanks be to God for his grace.Gail Havneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033910688541006267noreply@blogger.com
