Question
Does the Bible have an answer for every question?
Answer
Amazon basically states it is “the” Online Superstore. They state, “We seek to be Earth’s most customer-centric company for three primary customer sets: consumer customers, seller customers and developer customers.” It carries/ships a multitude of different types of merchandise and hosts many tools to effectively market the items they advertize.
While the Bible may not have a specific answer for every question, it does give us the general principles (all the merchandise and tools) to diagnose and understand the answers to our questions from God’s perspective. While it may not tell you specifically that 1+1=2, it does say that we should seek out the truth, that God cannot and does not make errors, and that it supports the principle of general revelation (referring to a universal aspect of God, of God's complete knowledge of spiritual and natural matters - such as the proper observation of nature (the physical universe), philosophy, reasoning, human conscience, and providence).
So, in essence God meets the needs for three primary customer sets: consumer customers (Christians who partake of the truth), seller customers (providing a firm foundation for those who proclaim the truth), and developer customers (they that are bringing God’s providence to reality – even behind the scenes). God even meets needs of those that are not true consumers in some respect (i.e. common grace – God sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust – Matt 5:45.). From one perspective, the Bible could be termed as God’s Amazon Superstore having an answer for every question – at least in a general way.
