1 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | Curtnsally | 31814 | ||
I believe the Bible is the history of God's relationship with man. It contains everything we need to know about God to choose to follow Him or not. In this regard, it is perfect. The accounts were written by men, and are thus subject to the foibles of men. To illustrate this point, let's use your Genesis example. Genesis is clearly not a "how" story. If God wanted to tell us how He created everything in the universe, it would take a lot more than one book. Genesis is, I believe, a "who" story which tells us "God created". This was the message we were to take from the book, and the accounts agree fully on this. If you read the Bible from this perspective (as history of the relationship God and man), you will see story after story of God teaching us and will come to understand the magnitude of our sin, and the tremendous price that Jesus paid to redeem us. God loves you and me. It's an amazing story! Cheers Curt |

Curt, I do trust that you did not view a former post of mine in response to yours as "graceless," a label placed upon it by another user; and even more so, that you did not view it as an affront to you or to your post that it was a response to. It would appear, from the quality of your postings thus far, that your discernment is of a high order and thus I feel that you saw the post in the perspective in which it was intended to be seen. The fact still remains, and is a matter of record, that on this forum there have been a number of speculations and off-the-wall conclusions promulgated, not only on the creation account but on a sizeable assortment of other topics as well. I emphatically do not consider your post to which I appended mine to be in this category in even the slightest degree...... I join my friend Joe and others in extending to you a hearty, if belated, welcome. --Hank | ||||||

I did not see your post as graceless, and welcome challenging thoughts, whether we agree or disagree. I, like most here, am a seeker foremost of the truth. I viewed your comments as an assertion of the same. Thanks for the welcome! Cheers Curt |
