Jesus states that he is the light of the world. That is the message of the Bible. It is not a list of dos and don’ts. It is not a book of senseless stories for those who lack reason or analytical skills. It is the story of how the God of the universe sent us a light so that we could find him.
I know that what God says is true. He says that “the godly have a refuge when they die.” He says, “you have been fearfully and wonderfully made.” He says, “all things are made through Him [Jesus], without Him nothing is made that has been made.” What God makes is good. What God creates is holy… righteous.

I have heard an illustration about there being a gate in Jerusalem called the needle gate and it was so small that for a camel to go through the merchant had to strip everything off and crawl through on its knees and… baloney.
