Is the Bible a Rubik's Cube?

"DOES GOD PLAY DICE WITH THE WORLD?"  -  Albert Einstein

If many of you are like me, you tried the rubik's cube and without much success.  The goal was to get all the six different colors all on each side of the cube.  If you were able to get one side of the cube with the right colors but no farther, you matched as far as I ever got.  Some people want to approach the Bible like a Rubik's cube.  It's like a large jigsaw puzzle or mathematical code that simply needs to be decifered and figured out.

Two Christian movies that take a kind of rubik's cube approach to the Bible and think they have unlocked its secret code are "The Omega Code" and "The Genesis Code."  The Omega Code basically put the first five books of the Bible into a computer and came up with an elaborate way to predict future events, or so they say.  The Genesis Code is a new movie aimed at young adults who may be struggling with resolving the tension between science and the Bibe.  Evolution says the world or universe started 16 billion years ago and the Bible says God created everything in six days.  They take higher mathmatical calculations, Einsteinian physics and try to suggest that science now proves the Bible.  How?  God's perspective in six days was actually from our perspective in time and space, billions of years.

The problem with all these kinds of views are none of them take seriously the way Scripture is written much less that most Christians throughout history would have no idea what these secret codes are until modern man later came along to solve these riddles or puzzles.  The best way to understand the Bible is to read it rather than trying to get some math wizard or computer expert to find some secret code waiting to be unlocked within the Scriptures.  If there is a secret code that unlocks Scripture, then the Bible already reveals that mystery which is the Messiah Jesus Christ.  Shalom!
