Reponse to Randy's Blog Harmony - Bevans Chp 1 - Week 1

The main line from your post that I would have to take issue with is when you state, "culture just distorts what we hear He's saying to us." The use of the word distorts implies that culture is negative and blocks us from hearing God.

I would like to suggest that while this certainly can be true some of the time, it is not true all of the time. I believe that God has the potential to work in and through anyone and anything, including culture, as a way of leading us to discover the greater truth found in scripture. I think when we start saying that culture only blocks us from hearing God then we're underestimating the ability of God.
