1 | Literal or Not? | 2 Tim 3:16 | journey_me | 92870 | ||
Is the bible literal in regards to history and creation? Timothy 3:16 depicts the bible as being a source for living or a guide. It doesn't directly or indirectly apply that the bible is literal. With that being said, how do we distibguish metaphors, parables, and symbols? None of these ideas take away from Timothy 3:16. When discusiing creation you are lead to believe that the bible is literal? Where is the proof that the Genesis creation story should be read as such? |

2 | Literal or Not? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Hank | 92871 | ||
The Bible does not deal in myth, fable, or superstition. It is the revealed word of God and is meant to be read and understood in its plain, literal sense except in those passages which explicitly state or contextually imply that they are clearly symbolic or metaphoric. Regarding the creation account in Genesis, you ask for proof that it should be read as being literal. I ask you for proof that it should not be read as a literal, factual account of the origin of man and the universe. The proper understanding of Genesis is foundational to the proper understanding of God, His world, and His word. --Hank | ||||||

I appreciate your help. I already beleive in the creation story. I am looking for ways to discuss it with none believers, therefore I need biblical evidence. If there isn't a biblical reference it is harder to prove my case. The bible can have metaphors without being fables, myths, or superstitions. The questions is why or why not is the bible literal? Is there proof either way? |
