Subject: Genesis,chapters1-4:True accounts or not |
Bible Note: What part of truth is dangerous? Or should I re-phrase the question..Why must we see a tension between truth (reliable history) and literature and art? Again I want to know what you do you feel is not complete about the picture of God we are given from His self revelation? A careful consideration of what God has really done in history by contrasting it with what God has not done in history should show us that we can only rely on truth not myth or folklore or unknowable writers. God can select what is reliable but He does not choose to use error and parade that to us as worthy of His self disclosure to us. Isn't that great? In fact wouldn't it be fair to say He has chosen to select truth as reliable? He surely doesn't select untruth as reliable! Genesis isn't written in a phenomonological style. It purports to be a real picture of what happened. It forces God in no way differently from what God is. Please give specifics as to what limiting factor Genesis binds on God. And please answer the earlier question what do you wish you could know about God that is not in the Bible? |
