Written for the Ages?

Below is a list of books and documents that I feel are written for the ages and not subject to question or careful revision.





Don't see it? Good. It's not there. Not the Holy Bible, not the Constitution of the United Staes, not E=Mc2.



As you might guess from blogs I have written, I am a repenting sinner and a practicing Christian who believes every word of the Apostle's Creed. I do not, however, believe in countless statements in the Bible that make no sense today and seem incompatible with the Good News of Jesus Christ, which itself represents a New Covenant offered by God to His people, after the Flood.



Antonin Scalia, the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court best kown for his strong belief in strictly interpreting the US Constitution, is a legal scholar I can't argue with, but common sense tells me his cause is basically flawed. It simply doesn't allow for the explosive changes that have legitimately occured in the world we live in, which is led by the United States of America. We've ammended the Constitution many times and we should not be afraid to do so again. In the meantime it needs to be interpreted not merely recited.



Einstein's famous formula concerning relativity looks like a winner in the Truth Forever category, but who really knows? He apparently made plenty of mistakes and the day may come when his best idea will simply be tossed on to the scap heap of science. And Einstein won't mind because he was seeking truth, which is what counts.

I am weary and wary of people who have got all the answers. Politicians who sound so earnest, ministers and priests who are supremely confident that they know God's mind and heart positively annoy me. They have disappointed so many times, it's a wonder many of them are again given the time to speak. Many of the events I see coming could turn the world upside down. We need people with the depth of perspective to respond with fresh wisdom and courageous action.
