It doesn'...The bible is honest, if nothing else. It doesn't hide the frailty and ugliness of the human heart, nor does it clean up reality to fit into some neat narrative like an evangelical's witness story. It just puts it all out there the way it is; the good next to the bad next to the beautiful, tied together with the questionable. What happens when the human is laid side-by-side with the divine, though, is that the human starts to become clearer. It loses its luster. Eventually, as the divine works its magic on us, the human parts that we are well to be rid of start to stick out like a sore thumb. And as much as it pains us to see it there, it is only because it's out there in the open, not hiding somewhere in our hearts, that we can start to tell the difference between human honesty and Godly intentions.
