Biblical Origami: Folding Scripture to Unfold Scripture

By Romel Duane Moore Sr

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative art and figures. Origami takes a flat sheet of paper and through the art and skill of folding is able to create almost anything in a three-dimensional shape. As I watched a documentary on origami it became clear to me that the way the Spirit of God taught me how to interpret scripture is the same principle which I call Biblical Origami. In the documentary on Origami, Origami has transcended from just making art and figures to adapting into sciences and industries. Origami basic principle of folding in order to create something three-dimensional is now used in the medical field and even astrophysics. Presently, experts are able fold other materials like glass and plastics to accomplish the same outcome as the Japanese does with paper. Algorithms has been created that can print out the exact places to fold on any flat sheet of paper to create just about any shape or object. The revelation is in knowing where to fold. If the flat sheet of paper is folded in the right places, the desired shape or object is guaranteed to be formed. This is exactly how proper interpretation of the Bible is accomplished. If we take the principle of Origami and apply it scripturally we will discover God had this in mind from the beginning. Hermeneutics is the principles of interpreting scripture. If we apply each principle of scripture interpretation as a fold of the flat sheet of paper in Origami, the intended shape and form will always be revealed which is the Person of Jesus Christ our Lord. All Biblical history is His-story. Jesus is the Word of God and every Bible story has His Person, life, and redemption story hidden within its pages. Using proper Biblical interpretive principles in each passage of the Bible as a symbolic fold in the Biblical narrative, the Spirit of God Who is the Spirit of Truth, will unveil redemptions story and the presence of Christ without fail. In essence, the more we fold the more will unfold. This is Biblical Origami.
