The Problem of Imperfect Revelation: Your Thoughts?

[Dionysius]

I think the Christian belief is that God is love. All loving makes no sense to me. Love and just also tie together... Some people confuse justice with unloving/ use that to demonstrate the problem with omnibenevolence.

Then that is a nonsensical proposition. Love is an emotion - not an intelligent entity. It'd make no sense to ascribe other qualities like just or benevolent to it.

I think a great deal of exegetical confusion arises when the believer fails (understandably so) to acknowledge the possibility of a mystical (suprarational?) meaning which is often ambiguously overlayed within the text. To be clear I'm not speaking of bible code mumbo jumbo or the like but rather a meaning that takes on a translucent appearance - not readily noticeable and thus plausibly deniable but still relevant and contextually meaningful. For example (Pro 27:26) which ostensibly seems related to the valuation of livestock whilst simultaneously addressing the PoE.

In terms of the statement God is Love this has more to do with a state of consciousness; mental disposition, similar to the Buddhist notion of Samādhi where the mind, freed from the limitations of socio/environmental conditioning is afforded a momentary glimpse of the true self.
