1 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | JMHO | 32149 | ||
Tim Thanks for the 2ond definition of literalism....gives me a staring point... a baseline... and more importantly,Hope that I can reconcile my intellect with ALL of the Bible The talking donkey is no big deal... just more poignant than the whole of creation. It's also funny, which I like That's why my favorite verse is Jesus's frustration and resulting sarcastic joke about doing a miracle (2 shekels in the Fish) for the silly temple tax. Sometimes, I juxtaposition that image against the image of that exact same frustrated Being on that freakin cross screaming out in utter agony has he enters the void... "Lord,Lord why has thou forsaken me"... that's HELL. That's why I love him. He certainly paid the price for me. And I guess that's what counts |

Well, Hank, if the dissenter (Turtle?) wasn't intimidated by your first post, he probably is by this one... no possible change of heart now. Too bad... a lost opportunity. It could've been as simple as just refering Turtle to your, or someone else's, well thought-out exegesis on the topic. I don't get it... especially from someone who taught the subtlety of Screwtape. Because my own very-limited sanctification, I may be wrong. Just felt I needed to bring this up for the future (not the past) before I not-so gracefully bow out (for other reasons). I did learn what exegesis means! Wish this board had a method of doing private posts or emails |

Does that mean when God or the prophets said, do not worship idols or do not put any Gods before me.... that we can't speculate that it may mean riches or golf or TV ??? I think Macarthur just shot down 10 million Sunday sermons and I suspect many of his own radio messages. |

ummm,kalos,i have no idea what your talking about. I was responding to Hank ( not you) who I thought gave a graceless answer to fellow Christains, Curtnsally, because they were "dissenters" who were "ignorant and as helpful as a fountain pen to a pig".... (ie: not Yale School Divinity school graduates who give a full exegis). I still don't know what exegis means. The rest of my post was to acknowledge my own simplicity regarding the bible, just like Curtand Sally. |

5 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | JMHO | 32015 | ||
Of course, the resurection is the greatest miracle. But I don't see anyplace in the bible that says something like the Creation story has to be limited by linear historical truth...truth goes far beyond historic details. Perhaps,to God, history was not the perfect method for conveying perfect truths... considering human limitations Shakespere reveal more profound truths than any history book at the time. Pehaps our human minds can't even grasp the literal truth of the Universes' beginning, just like we can't even begin to fully grasp the wonders God . Who's knows... Does God specically/literally anywhere say that genesis is linear history???. To me history and profound truths are two totally different things Again, not dissenting or debating just searching. |

No, not at all... just that If Yale Grads were here, then you would have informed "dissenters". I still can't get over that word, dissenter.It's putting your position on the literal spectrum has the standard!!!! | ||||||
7 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | JMHO | 31879 | ||
Why the ungraceful answer? A dissenter from what??? Is the correct position on the literalness spectrum God's litmus test? Is it even in the top 40??? Many Bible stories ARE hard to swallow for a new student of the bible like me. I still can't get over that talking donkey or Jacob wrasslin with God. I laugh, picturing them, as I write this. I love Jesus... I think his suggestion of pulling the shekels from the fish's mouth was the clincher for me. My favorite OT story is the General simply wading into the river. How very simple... says a lot about the value of theology(sp) Sorry, but I don't think you're going to see any Yale divinity school grads on this board anytime soon. Gotta go and look up the word exegesis. |

8 | The Irony of the StudyBibleForum | 2 Tim 3:16 | JMHO | 31779 | ||
I know so many people, who simply are not book people in any manner, people of their hands etc. Basic people with simple childlike faith in God's Grace. They don't explore or question they just humbly believe. Boy, would I like to exchange places with them, now and for eternity. . |

9 | God Intentionaly Made Bible Difficult? | Bible general Archive 1 | JMHO | 31777 | ||
Hank (and all): One of the most difficult parts for me is that another person, like you, doing their dammest, with essentially equal doses of: intellect, faith and Holy Sprit ....will read the same words of God and come to fundamentally different conclusions on many basic questions: literalism, election,apostates, etc. etc. I'm not looking for robotic interpetation, but the seemingly unlimited variations from people of good faith and intentions is mind boggling for a new Christian. Objective truth????? God's got to have a sense of humor (or at least irony) . |

To an extent I agree with ya Tim, but my observation of reality and my studying of the bible and the my studying of people with great minds and greater faith, tell me it's just not as simple as you say.... God, I wish it was . |

Robert Question:Do you not think that the important message from the Bible is: That God wants us to know him and to have a personal relationship with him through Jesus Christ? JHMO answer; Yes definitely, but that personal relationship is difficult(like the Bible), even in matters of pure faith as illustrated so painfully in Psalm 22 Your answer and biblereferences help, Thanks |

I agree with your salvation statement Joe. But are you seriously saying that the billions of Catholics for the last 2000 years are not your brothers in Christ??? Please tell me it ain't so, Joe |

Do you think the fact that since God himself many times is difficult to discern (Psalm 22)... that's also why the Bible,in so many areas, is difficult* to discern ??? In others words, God wants the long long search in the fog to go on and on.... for his own reasons??? *(The difficulty of humans to discern the Bible is clearly self-evident in a board like this and the THOUSANDS of denominations/nondenominations) |

16 | CS Lewis views some of Bible OT as myth | Not Specified | JMHO | 31448 | ||
C.S. Lewis Believes portions of the bible O.T. are myth??? I have read some of his more familiar works: "Mere Christianity", "Screwtape Letters" etc He stuck me as an orthodox evangelical, so I was SHOCKED when reading the book: "C.S. Lewis On Scripture" Lewis says: "the question about Jonah and the great fish does not turn simply on intrinsic probability. The point of the whole book Book of Jonah has to me the air of being a moral romance, a quite different thing from, say the account of the King David or the New Testament Narratives, not pegged like them into any historical situation" He feels the same way about Job, Ester, and some Psalms. (and the Creation, but for other reasons). My church leaders quotes CS Lewis a LOT and their literalists. Again, I was surprised and I wanted to see if others were has Shocked as me??? |

18 | were OT saints seen after Jesus was resu | Matt 27:52 | JMHO | 31436 | ||
Thanks Nolan for the welcome and quick reply. I'm just very surprised that a miracle of such incredible magnitude (raising of MANY dead)didn't get even a nod by any other NT writers (Or even more comment from matthew). It just doesn't "line out"....ie.. cause and effect. I'm a believer in Christ but I wrassle with the bible... |

19 | were OT saints seen after Jesus was resu | Matt 27:52 | JMHO | 31414 | ||
New here too. I always wonder about this verse. It seems like such an incredible miracle at just the right time. More dynamic than Lazurus.... but none of the gospels or letters even mentioned it. Perflexing... there's a cause and effect missing. Any idea how that could be? |
