Here, I am reminded of this passage of Scripture.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
(Acts 17:29-31)
I want you to consider that Scripture, as being of broader application than, just for the time that is the revelation of Jesus Christ. I want you to think of that Scripture as being applicable to any time of transition that moves us from infant-like understanding, to the position of bearing responsibility for adherence to a known fact. Here, we are thinking about the transition that is described below.
