What do you believe about the Bible?”
God is omnipresent, as is wisdom. This is revealed by the appearance of wisdom in so many places. If some wisdom is available to seekers then so is all of it.
Do you understand it to be God’s direct communication to humanity? Do you think that the Bible is totally of Him and from Him? Do you understand that without His divine revelation about Himself and His created beings, finite and fallen humanity is left with only opinions, guesses, and speculations about who God is, Jesus Christ and the gospel which offers salvation, freedom, hope, and eternal life?
Pleasure seekers want to reduce the meaning of Christ's resurrection to pleasure for themselves and their relatives in something like a heathen afterlife. This desire seems to be a blindness that bends scripture in minds. The sword in Jesus mouth is not a physical sword, just as the resurrection is not pleasure. I conclude that the books of the bible cannot possibly be a direct communication to pleasure seekers and will either bind them into daydreams or possibly to turn them away. I also conclude that while wisdom is available to all, it is not easy to accept for all.
Some passages illustrating the moral nature of Christian resurrection, that the reason it is eternal is that is not like the heathen afterlife at all. In other words it is undesirable unless what you seek is the joy of benefiting those that come behind you. Honestly. That's good exegesis.
[Mat 22:30 NIV] 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
[Rom 14:17 NIV] 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
[2Co 2:15-16 NIV] 15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?
[Eph 2:16 NIV] 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
[2Co 4:10-12 NIV] 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
[2Co 4:10-12, 18 NIV] 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. ... 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
