When God is Silent

The title of this book is "Bao Silence" by Barbara Brown Taylor. This book has three main points, famine, silence and restraint. In the first chapter, she first asked: "How can I break the silence?" (Page 3). The first chapter focuses on 'famine', a lack of food, but what she really means is that we want God right now. She states that the fear rate of public speech is much higher than the fear of illness and death, according to the study of the greatest fear of people.

Pay special attention to the last two lines: "If you keep silence on me, I will be like a person going to the pit." Is this really okay? This is what he actually means - When God keeps silence, is he in hell? Regardless of whether you explain the hell more traditionally or in other ways, the state described by the psalmist is not a good thing. Here, there is no way to positively explain hell. Regardless of whether the image is text or metaphor, "pit" is an unavoidable negative effect. If God is the source of all life and the source of all life and existence, everything that depends on his existence will be threatened whenever he is absent. Because their source and origin are deprived, their existence is threatened. Some of this concept can be seen in Paul 's letter to the Colossians. If all of the items are deleted, confusion and confusion may occur.

Even though we prayed, it seems that they abandoned us when God kept silence. It was during this time that Abram was called on to resolve the crisis with Rhodes, which in the end led to their separation. Giving up on family when God abandoned is, of course, a difficult choice. But this is part of the lonely path God calls Abram's faith. For the first time after Abram was faithful to God after that difficult decision God revealed his greater loyalty to Abram.
