Come, Let us Reason:

 

Blind or seeing?

 

 

 Perhaps the greatest single argument for using one's reasoning is  found in the greatest commandment stated in the Bible. Which is to love God and your neighbour as yourself. I would like to focus on a single aspect, if i may?

What do i mean? Consider the phrase below

"...with all your mind "

Since the greatest commandment contains these words that we are commanded to use our mind or the brain, the seat of the mind.  We should!

Some people are quoted as saying, " that one has to leave one's brain at the entrance when one visits a church." That everything is" believed by blind faith". Never reasoning or using one's mind when someone enters a church.

Such a short-sighted view is antithetical to God's ultimate purpose.

In fact God invites our thinking abilities or reasoning capacity. 

In the Manual for Life, He says," come, let us reason together?" If He didn't, why then would he have written the Bible via the very limited agency of humans. If He didn't want us to use our brains, then why did he employ the written word. Without language, without the alphabet and having  minds capable of understanding the rules, syntax , et cetera, producing the written Bible would be a waste of time!

the above argument is perhaps too simple for your reasoning ability? Too simple but the first  salvo.

If you and i didn't know how to interpret life not only interpret symbols or scratches on a page or black marks on a screen, we would have to endure a cave-man like existence and men and women would not have created our civilization..
