Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
(Matthew 13:52) KJV
Are we called to be a scribe? We used to think that this was important but not so much now. Anyway, our calling as a scribe is the result of a deductive process which goes like this:
- What are We?
- We can’t be a Pastor,
- We can’t be a Priest,
- We can’t be a Prophet,
- We weren’t taught any of this by anybody.
- However, we have work to do, which we’re doing.
- IF we’re bringing out new doctrine, for instance:
- A Biblical plan for particle physics,
- Nucleosynthesis on the 1st day,
- The inception of gravity on the 2nd day,
- Gravitational time dilation,
- A unified field theory which harmonizes with the plan of redemption.
- THEN do we fulfill the criteria expressed in Matthew 13:52?
- IF we’re bringing out new doctrine, for instance:
We’re bringing out new things and old. That’s the best we have been able to do to discern what our calling may be.
- IF we’re a scribe as per Matthew 13:52,
- AND our doctrine refutes all of SciPop since Copernicus,
- BUT Jesus spoke with authority and NOT as the scribes,
- THEN our doctrine can’t be of ourselves,
- BECAUSE we don’t have any authority,
- THEREFORE it has to be of divine origin.
Phew. That’s what happens when we ponder.
