About
Bible Curious is an exploration into sacred scripture, driven by curiosity. The population of planet Earth is 33% Christian. It's 24% Muslim, and the Qur'an does acknowledge the Bible as Holy Scripture. Between these two faiths, that's over half of Earth's population. If I was an alien coming to this planet for the first time, and I wanted to play a game of “Take Me To Your Leader,” it wouldn't take long before I found this book in my hands. If I want to understand this planet, planet Earth, I need to know what's in this text. To ignore it, or to dismiss it casually, is to cast aside the very underpinnings of western civilization, which is the dominant culture of this planet. I mean, aren't you at least curious about what it actually says? I know I am.
DAY 37 (Job 35-37): The young Elihu is offended that Job accuses God of wrongdoing. He's also offended that Job would question the need to obey God, asking what's in it for me? After all, what's in it for God? Is God harmed by Job's disobedience, or helped by Job's righteousness? How does Job have any right to demand a personal appearance from God?
