Subject: Any literature? |
Bible Note: Thanks to ALL who have sent me internet resources for Bible apologetics and seemingly contradictions in God's Word. I appreciate it. Please know that I am NOT looking for an airtight, ironclad, inerrant answer. I am just seeking a reasonable one. To me, that means, “Is this a reasonable explanation? Is this explanation something that I can live with while still acknowledging that there is a component of mystery involved? Is this the kind of explanation that I would feel comfortable offering to someone else as reasonable without feeling that I was twisting scripture or doing biblical “slight-of-hand tricks”? Does this explanation stand up to the rest of scripture and/or historical Christianity?” These are the kind of answers that I seek. Thanks again. seeking4truth (Seeking for truth - which makes a grandiose assumption that I would recognize it if I found it) |
