Subject: Genesis,chapters1-4:True accounts or not |
Bible Note: So, what are you asking? It appeared to me that you didn't like (to limit ourselves to) the Bible as the only self-revelation of God. You can easily surmize from what I postulated that Genesis must be true to have value and that really the Bible stands or falls on the "Thy Word is truth" concept. Don't be so thin skinned about mere question-asking, you are the one who has taken honest questions and turned them around into intentions that were not there. I have just now clearly illustrated that you, not me have turned things around. I was merely asking questions. As I recall, you indicated that you were not to keen on the idea that God should limit Himself in ways we humans don't even limit ourselves. The idea that God MAY have done something one way or another is a line of defense you have available to you only because of the historical record of God at your disposal. You must be more consistent than that. You see, you would have no authority of God or who God is if you don't rely on the Bible for that authority. Your test for truth claims must be based on something greater than accepting God and submitting to Him without knowing who He is and what He expects of man and what He has done for man. Why do you find the word choice 'verbatim history' so compelling? |
