"In matters that are so obscure and far beyond our vision, we find in Holy Scripture passages which can be interpreted in very different ways without prejudice to the faith we have received. In such cases, we should not rush in headlong and so firmly take our stand on one side that, if further progress in the search for truth justly undermines this position, we too fall with it."
This quote is fantastic! He said in a short sentence what I was trying to say back in 2006. We need to be careful how firmly we hold positions that are tentative at best. Where is our faith? Who is our faith in? Are the issues we are focusing on those that actually matter to Christ?

Good quote and good points, Jiffy. I seem to fall prey to this. There are a lot of things that are not crystal clear, but I tend to pick a "side" or whatever when all I have is a best guess and a 'we'll see when all is revealed'. Some things are not fully explained (or too challenging for my little brain!). -abo
