Bible Note: kichmon (context or Chochma): Your higher criticism notwithstanding, non of the objections are without explanation nor do they in any remote sense invalidate Genesis. You dogmatically state that "Based on the Bible, the Genesis account is symbolic or false. Either we are to accept that the Bible is in error and contradictory or we must say that this Genesis account is symbolic and the two stories each give us truths." How about a third option: The Genesis account is historically factual and true! The Bible and it's books either stand as a whole they fall. I chose to believe Christ when He states in John 17:17 that "Sanctify them in truth,Thy Word is truth". The fact that He quotes from and refers to Many OT people and events gives validity to the entire canon of Scripture. However, it all hinges on His Diety and Resurrection. As the apostle Paul writes "But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised;and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
