I thought that this post from St.Paul's writings, goes very well, (the concept, the idea), with a much much older Testament, (thousands of years probably before Christ)....written by one called,
Mechilizidek, who Edgar Cayce once spoke of......as a high priest of Salem, and kind of a Hermes type of dude.
or "all knowing", half man,/ half god type of dude.
I'll try to link the two different posts, together, in their seperate format, but yet, sameness of thought:
1) Finite man, loaded down with sin, ignorance, and weakness, is in no position to talk back to God or question the wisdom or justice of His ways. (see above or St.Paul's rebuke)
2)and then from Mechilizidek: (ancient book of Job)
The book of Job, which is thought by many to be the oldest book of the Bible, goes back to approximately 2150 B.C., which is 650 years before Moses came upon the scene to write the Pentateuch; over 1,100 years before Homer wrote the Odyssey and the Illiad; and 1,500 years before Thales, the first of the philosophers, was born. In chapter 38, God finally breaks in and speaks to Job and to his false comforters.
As He is questioning Job, showing him and his companions their ignorance, God says to them: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" (Job 38:31,32).
We see here reference to the constellations of Orion and Pleiades, and the star Arcturus. Also in the book of Job there is reference to Cetus, the Sea Monster, and to Draco, the Great Dragon. I would call your attention to Job 38:32a: "Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?" Mazzaroth is a Hebrew word which means "The Constellations of the Zodiac." In what may be the oldest book in all of human history, we find that the constellations of the zodiac were already clearly known and understood....
I would suppose that the whole idea here, is that we (as feeble humans), have not the answers, as "God", asks Job, to come up with.......therefore, we cannot possibly be in a position, to say to our maker (our own higher self), "how dare you do this to me, or how dare you give me this life of pain & sorrow)
at least that's what I get out of comparing the two
