Quote:I think your crisis had something to do with the limits of language--you maybe had trouble explaining to yourself your belief in God, even though you "knew" outside of the constraints of your language what you believed? English isn't set up very well to talk about the supernatural domain without the fallacy of being too precise.I think this observation may be accurate.
Knowledge of the Holy One is certainly not just a set of bullet points derived from scripture, when you get glimpses it's incredibly destabilizing. Nothing looks the same afterwards and it's hard to convey it to others.
It's good we can look to Jesus, the King. He keeps us "grounded" as it were, not spiraling off into rabbit trails.
The anchor isn't an object but a person, The Person, the Son of man and The King of Glory.
