Love this. Thank you. Knowing we don't know is humility. And humility is necessary for us to rest in God... an act of surrender.
Can’t get enough of Peter’s talks, amazing stuff, thank you!
Pete is a theological rock star!!!
There are no words to even express how much I love this.
Excellent!
'How I wonder what you are?' A powerful exposition of the same awe inspired in David, in light of our deeper apprehension (yet still without full comprehension) of what he was staring up towards. I do subscribe to Peter's view that, 'men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit' who wants us to feel the vastness and mystery and have the humility to ask big questions.
Awesome! Thanks!
Great insight
Thank you! Such fun!
This is why we love Faith Matters.
He seemed to be using the words photon and proton interchangeably. That’s where I lost him a little as I wasn’t sure which he meant. I THINK he might have just been meaning to talk about protons, which are sub-atomic particles.
Whats your point scott
I guess the same attitude can be seen as humble or arrogant depending on the underlying presupposition.
what do you mean?
@@connormignault4748 So he identifies his view of Scripture as the humble one (thanks for pointing that out, btw, we might not have noticed otherwise), with the clear implication that the other view is arrogant. The other view, which would be that of the original faculty of Westminster Seminary, is that God speaks clearly in Scripture (though of course some sections require work to pull the full meaning out) and that it is our part to humbly listen and obey. Therefore, to reject that clear revelation in favor of positing confusion and aporia would be arrogance. Enns however thinks THAT view is the unhumble, arrogant one because of his man-centered presupposition of evolution, epochs, and struggle.
Nonsense. Everyone knows the earth is around 4,000 years old. Make America great again. Sorry about that, just kidding. I came upon a photo of Donald Trump signing Bibles. True. His signature looks like the expression AAAAAARG.
