Understanding the Contradictions of God
Purpose Series, Part 6
Malcolm Webber
God commands us to use our minds to discern His will. However, we find that there will be many tensions in our Christian lives. An “antinomy” is a contradiction, a conflict of authority, a paradox. There are many antinomies in the Christian life. We must embrace these. We must trust God anyway. We should try to understand His ways and His purposes in everything, but we must not limit God to what we can understand. We must accept the contradictions. We must embrace the contradictions. We must trust God even when we can't figure it out.
