I want to have faith that will continue to grow and to bless others. It is hard to put into words the unseen reality from which God has been created. The history of God is a fascinating study which I will do one day.
I appreciate that the Bible contains myths and stories to express the sacred.
"The common understanding of myth is as a "false" story." We get caught up in arguing what is true and fail to see the ability "of the myth to transmit truths within and across human cultures with poetic economy."
"Through myth the world can be apprehended as a perfectly articulated, intelligible and significant Cosmos." Mircea Eliade.
"If we deepen our understanding of myth, we will see that it provides a language through which science's potential as a gateway to apprehending the world's sacred character, can be opened." -Adam Frank "The Constant Fire"
