Subject: Should the Bible be taken literally? |
Bible Note: Radioman I took no offense at all. Your right in everything you said and I agree with it. However there are two things we must remember. Most books are written to make money and some authors have found that political correctness, popular subjects, and controversial subjects have a tendency to make more money. They therefore write about these subjects and in some cases ill treat the truth. The other point is religious books are written by men trying to explain God, they do this with their preconceived opinions, biases and prejudices. Also anytime the created tries to explain the creator it is found lacking at best and often laughable. I have many favorite experts, men that I trust and rely on to provide sound and Biblically correct answers. However even they are discounted when they attempt to put words in God’s mouth. As is the case so often when men try to reason a passage that seems to be unjust or prejudicial when viewed from a human perspective. I think it is these passages that are most disputed here in the forum. Therefore many times people seem to be in “conflict” with the experts when in fact they are merely offering another opinion. |
