As we examine the work done by scholars working with secular documents and records to give us a realistic view or frame of the images and events described in Scripture, we come to see how the images develop. However, we do not understand what we are seeing; Unless we do so with the point of view that just because we don’t understand the images we are seeing in Scripture, our non-understanding does not make these supposed mythical images any less real. It is when we move toward unshakable faith that we come to understand God’s imagination.

He has shown his imagination and has made himself clearly visible and seen in the many varieties of animal, insect and plant species that he created. It is in this imagination that moves us from a superficial faith to seek the power and vitality that God reveals to us in our Christian heritage.

That is, just because our imagination is limited and our understanding is hampered, it does not mean that the images described in the Bible are not real. We must understand that all subjective analysis is based on human opinion and perspective. What we need first is the transformation of biblical faith.

Biblical faith is narrow in the sense that we understand that what God reveals to us can only be understood and described in the finite state of our being. In other words, it must be compared to the story of three blind men describing an elephant. One is touching its trunk, another, its side, and the last, its tail. Everyone has a different perspective based on the position they occupy, but just because their perspectives are different does not mean that one is correct and the other is wrong.

By believing that the Bible is the written Word of God, it behooves us to allow the various opinions of the writers based on the inspiration they received from the Holy Spirit. After all, the Scripture also says, (1 Corinthians 2: 9) “But as it is written: Things that the eye has not seen, nor has the ear heard, nor have come up into the heart of man, Are those that God has prepared for those who they love. “

Before you allow someone to waver you in your faith and the validity of God’s word, ask yourself this question. When critics speak of “biblical mythology,” is it really a myth or a misunderstood truth?
