About Paradoxology


Let God be found true though every man a liar. - Romans 3:4 

For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful by God for overturning strongly entrenched things. For we are overturning reasoning’s and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God; and we are bringing every thought into captivity to make it obedient to the Christ. 2Corinthians 10:4,5.

Paradoxology is not really a defined word, my interpretation of this word is in regards to paradoxes in the religious context:
There are many scriptures in the Bible that seem contradictory to modern science. It should be obvious that the Bible was not written to be a science text book. But it is a narrative of a higher Intelligent Being to creatures with a simpler and more primitive mind. So, we now must interpret the ancient language of the Creation as riddles and parables within the long-evolved understanding of modern science.

paradox, n. 1. a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth. 2. a self-contradictory and false proposition. 3. any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature. 4. an opinion or statement contrary to commonly accepted opinion.

doxology, n. 1. a hymn or form of words containing an ascription of praise to God. 2. the Doxology, the metrical formula beginning “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.”

doxy1, n. 1. opinión; doctrine. 2. religious views. Also, doxie. [1720-30; extracted from ORTHODOXY,

paradox. a paradox is a statement which seems absurd, obviously untrue, self-contradictory, yet which upon investigation or explanation will be seen to be well founded…. A Dictionary of contemporary American usage, by Bergen and Cornelia Evans, Random House, New York, 1957.

CONFESSION OF FAITH

  WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, OUR FAITH, IS NOT BASED ON TRUTH IN ANY WAY, OR HISTORICAL FACTS WHETHER IT IS THEOLOGY OR SCIENTIFIC PROOF, BUT RATHER ON WHAT WE WANT TO BELIEVE. THEREFORE, I WANT TO BELIEVE IN A GOD THAT IS COMPREHENSIBLE AND IS REVEALED IN NATURE AS AWESOME. NOT AS AN UNINTELLIGIBLE TRINITY. I WANT TO BELIEVE THE MESSIAH WAS THE FIRSTBORN, ARCH-ANGELIC SON OF GOD WHO CHOSE TO BE REBORN AS HUMAN AND SACRIFICED HIS IMMORTAL SOUL TO GIVE US IMMORTALITY THAT WE LOST BY THE SIN OF ADAM AND EVE. "If there be for him an angel, a mediator , one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, and he is merciful to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom ; let his flesh become fresh with youth ; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor '; then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness . He sings before men and says: 'I sinned and p

THE NEW GENESIS - Clay Tablet series 2

Clay Tablet series 2 (Genesis 2:5 - 5:1, 2) There were no plants on the earth. Nothing was growing in the fields. Jehovah God had not yet made it rain on the land. And there was no man to care for the ground. But a mist often rose from the earth and watered all the ground. And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living person. Then Jehovah God planted a garden in the Orient (towards the sun rise), in a place called Pleasure (in Hebrew Eden). He put the man he had formed in that garden. Jehovah God caused every beautiful tree and every tree that was good for food to grow out of the ground. In the middle of the garden, God put the tree that gives life. And he put there the tree that gives the knowledge of good and evil. A river flowed through the garden of pleasure (Eden) and watered the garden. From that point the river was divided. It had four streams flowing [from] it. {T

Let God Be Found True

  Let God be found true though every man a liar. - Romans 3:4   “But he has got nothing on,' said a little child. 'Oh, listen to the innocent,' said its father; and one person whispered to the other what the child had said. 'He has nothing on; a child says he has nothing on!' 'But he has nothing on!' at last cried all the people. The Emperor writhed, for he knew it was true, but he thought 'the procession must go on now,' so held himself stiffer than ever, and the chamberlains held up the invisible train.” Excerpt From Stories from Hans Christian Andersen   That is how Christians generally behave. I am perplexed by how the majority of Christians accept errors and contradictions without question, despite some obvious violations to a sense of reason. They see the Word of God as the Emperor, and they can’t admit that it is has errors. However, it is not necessary to “throw out the baby with the bath water” as the saying goes. The N
