The Elephant Speaks
One Man’s Elephant book II
Introduction
I use quotes from the Bible because I see a lesson there. I
see a message there. I see a message from God there. Not just
because it is in the Bible, but because the message is valid. It
would be valid no matter the source. Be aware that I use the
translation or source that comes the closest to the point I desire to
make. Your own sacred texts also have messages that are valid,
that stand on their own merits, that should be considered
regardless of the source.
I use quotes from other sources, messages that have God
as the Author. Many predate Jesus. Some have no relationship
with either the Jewish faith or the Christian faith. Keep your mind
open to hear God’s word no matter the source. Some of these
quotes even sound as though they could be in the Bible. Some
quotes from those who were not Christian are mirrored by
statements in the Bible.
I leave the quotation marks off the end of what I state comes from God. That is because God never ‘ends’ His speaking to me or you.
- different character set -
to distinguish it from my own rambling.
Feel free to disagree with me.
I do not expect you to agree with me throughout this book.
If you disagree, then your own faith is strengthened.
This book is just my personal view
of the elephant.
