Bible Question (short): Should the Bible be taken literally? |
Question (full): Thank you for being more than gracious in your answer. How do we explain the phenomena in the Soviet Ukraine? Bibles were smuggled in behind the iron curtain and for the most part readers became healthy Christians without any additional teaching. Where problems did arise, in isolated cases, it was found the problem occurred because the group only had fragmented sections of the Bible. They had based their doctrine not on the whole Bible but rather the sections they had. Similar stories are starting to emerge from the main land of China. I think your example of the watch tower is what I’m questioning, didn’t they take God’s word and reduce it down to human reasoning? They took the sections they liked and kept them, the sections they couldn’t explain they rewrote so they could. |
