3. It may not be His purpose to deal with issues outside the essentials of
His relationship with us. What does the Bible itself say about God's
purposes in inspring it to be written? One of my favorites is Jn 20:31:
but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the son of God; and that believing you may have life. Does
Scripture teach anywhere that God intends to give us a detailed account of
natural history?
