我们的信念IPODing…
写由Mark范· Steenwyk ： 2007年9月25日
什么您想要。 当它来到音乐时，您能得到什么您想要。 没有需要递交给册页的崇高概念。 请听您的喜爱2歌曲在那个册页。 事象上下文不事关。 艺术家消息是次要的到您的欲望。 生活所有区域似乎转移入消费者特别是范例，但娱乐。 没有需要观看商务。 需要甚而没拥有电视。 正义洪流您能等待的情节，并且用途箱中取出或itunes为您现在需要的情节。 如果您不可能等二天那下dvd到达， netflix允许17个小时看法在要求服务。
我是消费者。 我想要什么我想要。 没有绒毛。 当我想要它。
同样可能说，我会争论，以我们的信念。
它所有开始了以小的数字。 我们开始增加数字到我们的圣经，以便发现事…更加容易引述我们圣经的喜爱的段落是更加容易的。 然后人们开始的正义读书那些段落和忽略其他部分。 我们甚而有特别编码制参考这些特别小的段落。 约翰· 3:16。 1科林斯10:13。
以软件和网的发展，我们甚而不必须翻转页发现那些喜爱的段落。 我们输入这个小的代码在跃迁右边对那些段落，并且您看见什么您想要看。
我们总是有选择性的读者。 但现在它容易。 These days, you don’t have to even encounter the rest of the album of Scripture. You can just download your favorite songs.
Q: What does this do to our faith?

By the way, I recommend the new “Books of the Bible” Bible. It removes those little numbers and forces an actual reading of the text.

I think it would add confusion to take out the numbers and chapters. But I do like how The Message has passages. So the thought isn’t broken up. I wish all versions were like that.
I think the problem is worse than what you described. Long before all those passages were written, people heard God through nature -”the heavens declare the glory of God”. Today, people try and separate the two: faith is faith and science is science; or try and minimize one at the expense of the other: we can’t accept certain scientific conclusions because they don’t fit with our ideas about faith, or visa-versa, we can’t accept some principles of faith because they conflict with our ideas about science/logic. If we really are trying to follow Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life, we have to take truth however it comes. And since God’s ways are higher than our ways, it probably won’t fit neatly into our current paradiem.
Thanks for the Bible recommendation! I’ve been looking for something like that for a while.

I bought the “Books of the Bible” Bible a couple of weeks ago. I really really like it. I can let go of worrying about chapter and verse, let go of what is and isn’t “red letter,” and just READ the story. It’s amazing what you notice and soak in that way.
