I particularly feel this when I'm dealing with the disagreeable dimensions of doctrine, like sexuality or hell. I can feel clearly what I'd like the answer to be, and I can also feel clearly that I'm under an external restraint which comes from Jesus. I don't like the feeling that conflict, but at those times I can be pretty sure I'm not just making all this up.

It has more truth to it than the other way around! It is more provocative and interesting as well. Jesus does not come as answer to a question. He comes to question all our pat answers. And to overthrow them. He is not just saviour he is judge as well! I really like the blooper. It has more truth to it than the other way around! It is more provocative and interesting as well.

I really like the deeper meaning you've found in my mission blooper, Dan. (Maybe some of the primary kids assumed this is what I really meant after all. :-) That's a really pithy critique of scientism too - nice work. It seems to me that many advocates of scientism sadly trade one deception for another. They rightly deploy science to powerfully explain natural phenomena (and thus avoid being deceived at that level), yet they are so proudly confident of their ability to understand the science they are blind to the very limits of that science, as you point out, and so are deceived when it comes to the bigger questions of life. Maybe I'll have to use "Jesus is the Problem to our Solution" more deliberately tomorrow. :-) James. Heh, heh :-) . I really like the deeper meaning you’ve found in my mission blooper, Dan.
