The Great Bible Dig, Excavation of the Scripture, Book Four

About the Book

Did you know, dear reader that, In the world we are told a picture is worth a thousand words.  But think, scripturally a word is worth a thousand pictures

In our pictures we picture Jesus and a door, when all the time we are told Jesus is the door.  So what is that other door doing there?  And what does that other door stand for?  Could it be the door to our brain?

Scripture tells us the Word is the complete expression of God’s Thought.  Nowhere in scripture does it say this or that picture is a complete expression of God’s Thought.

How can one picture in pictures Jesus as the Light, the Way, and the Truth?  This can only be done in words.

We will finally become aware that the Declarations of God that Jesus speaks cannot be pictured in pictures.  Yet the parables that Jesus said can be pictured in pictures.

Note what we call The Beatitudes.  Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.  Now draw a picture of that hungering and thirsting after righteousness.  One cannot picture anyone following Jesus.  Or do you suppose you know the route to Heaven?

One cannot picture in pictures having communion with Jesus, for communion is words, not a material object.

How can one picturize and picture God’s Light?  For God’s Light is Enlightenment.  And how can one picturize in pictures Enlightenment?

We mortals even have the ordacity to picturize in pictures, God.  And of all insult upon insult, picture Him, God, as a gray-haired old one.  Like God ,Who is All Life, grows Old?

And they set this picture of an old gray-haired God on a huge gold-velvet throne chair, never realizing the word Throne means rule, power, and authority.  Now try picturizing rule, power, and authority in pictures.

Note:  One can picturize in pictures history, facts, parables.  But one cannot picturize in pictures the Truth.  For again as scripture tells us, Thy Word Oh God is Truth.

Picturizing in pictures can be likened to the milk.  But the Word likened to the meat.  How long are we going to stay minors on the milk not partaking of the solid food – the meat.  As we picturize in pictures Eve biting into an apple.  Nowhere in scripture does it tell us that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil grew apples.  The Lord God never told Adam not to eat an apple, but the Lord God did tell Adam not to NOT TO partake of the knowledge, KNOWLEDGE of the Tree of good and evil.  Now try picturing knowledge.

Note:  apple trees do not grow knowledge, nor come to think of it do apple trees grow bananas.  Anymore than a knowledge tree grows apples, regardless of what kind of knowledge a tree it is.

And note:  there is no such thing as knowledge of the Truth, for there is only the Word of the Truth.

We mortals try picturing in pictures the Panoply of God.  So we picture the sword, shield, breastplate, etc.  But we can’t picturize in pictures the Truth, Peace, the Word, etc. of which this Panoply of God really consists of.

So the picture we have picturized for ourself is some guy dressed in a knight’s suit of armor.  I’m sure God has no armor-making industry up in the Heaven.

And note:  the picturizing picture of God reaching down to us from out of the Heaven and we reaching up to God from out of this planet called Earth.  Picturized in picture as two hands.  Both shaped and looking the same.  God’s Hand and the hand of us sinners.

And while we’re at it, let’s look at the pictur? ???? ????????? ?????? ?? ? ????? ??????? ?????? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????????? ?? ???? ??? ?????  ??? ? ???? ????? ?? ??? ??? ???? ????? ?? ?????? ?? ???? ????? ?????? ?????? ?? ????????????????? ?? ??????? ?? ??? ??? ????? ????????? ???? ??? ?????? ?? ?? ??? ??? ?? ????? ???? ?†??? ?????? ??? ?????? ??? ??? ??????????????  ???? ????? ????
