Bible Question:
I'm writing a book and I'm wondering if that would be taking it just a little too far. Would people be offended if say Jesus' mother was there? Songbirdca |
Bible Answer: People will be concerned if what you say: 1. contradicts Scripture, 2. does not follow from Scripture, 3. adds to Scripture, 4. takes away from Scripture, and 5. is not reasonable and/or likely in light of generally accepted scholarship about bible history, culture, archaeology, etc. On the other hand, the Bible does not provide exhaustive detail on every situation, but rather gives us what we need to know in order to receive God's message. If you speculate, be sure to clarify to your readers that what you are about to say is speculation and explain why you are doing this. So, why would you want people to consider the possibility that Mary was present at the Last Supper? Parable |
