Bible Note: Thanks for your comments. I agree entirely with your understanding of what a parable is and is not. I respectfully disagree that Genesis tells us how God formed human beings. For example, Genesis 2:7 doesn't mention water, just dust. Yet our bodies are more than half water, so I assume he must have added some. As I said, I wouldn't dream of trying to convert you to my view. I hope you will agree with me that there is room for differences of opinion such as this. Insistence on one view or the other creates an artificial division in the body of Christ that must delight the Enemy. All Christians share a common belief in God the Creator of Heaven and Earth and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord. We can reasonably and lovingly disagree on how God did the creating.
