In the 5th century CE, therewere only specks of light in the night sky to see.
Many fanciful constellations of starswere imagined long before that time.
So, it is not surprising that theperception of creation by God was somewhat limited when the originaltexts were written which now appear as scripture.
But now there is no true reason toimagine creation in such a limited way since God has opened our eyesto observable creation spanning roughly 92 billion light yearsacross.
Such splendor wasn't visible in the 5thcentury CE, why not ponder the meaning of such grandeur?
A well-known academic (Carl Sagan) hada few words to say about a few image pixels of Earth from a greatdistance.
Our world is almost insignificant fromthe revealed grandeur of God's creation and even that observablecreation is only a tiny part of God's full creation.
It is important to recognize andtreasure what God has given us that others who'd come before usdidn't have an inkling would be given to us.
Have you ever considered the reasonthat almost all spiritual messages in today's world require bundlingtogether pieces of scripture from many separate sources?
It requires great effort from even anintellectually gifted person to understand fully what a spiritualmessage means in the world that we live in?
That is, our usual context differs fromthe type of thoughts which those who came before us has.
Especially, if you compare our thoughtswith those who lived millennia before us.
Even between consecutive generations,culture perspective and interpretation changes.
The 5th century CE issignificantly more than a millennium in the past, when the gospelswere written yet that is the source for sermons in most churches,today.
Did God stop talking to us after the5th century CE?
There is plenty of textual evidencethat God never stops speaking with us.
Text after the 5th centuryCE is unworthy to be treated as scripture?
Hmm, does spiritual meaning have to bedifficult to comprehend to be scriptural?
I've never found the tangle ofscriptural references often used to be especially cohesive.
That is, each reference is embeddedwithin a particular context and collectively the contexts competedwith each other.
That was a favorite tactic that paganpriests practiced, bestowed spiritual authority.
As time passed, scripture has beenmodified to fit cultural perspective.
Otherwise, the text would becomecompletely beyond the average person's comprehension.
Shouldn't all that God tell us appear in the sermons?
A rewrite could make the spiritualmessage clearer.
How does God appear across 92 billionlight years of observable universe?
Consider the grandeur of all ofcreation.
