Subject: Genesis,chapters1-4:True accounts or not |
Bible Note: My point is that Feinberg's and your postulate below can be questioned; " The book of Genesis is not authoritative if it is not true. For if it is not history, it is not reliable" Essentially, I'm saying that God can select what is reliable. He does not have to limit himself to literal history to express his profound truths, just like humans don't limit themselves to history to explain profound truths. Didn't God create literature and art? Who are we to say he can't use them? It's almost like you're forcing God to be bound by a recitation of literal history in genesis in order for his Word to express truth. Otherwise, his truths are not true and the Bible is not "reliable". Sounds dangerous to me. |
