Subject: Sola Scriptura supported by bible? |
Bible Note: Hank, let's think about this a minute. Suppose that you told me that you had hamburger for dinner one day. So, if I follow YOUR line of reasoning, am I to believe that you have hamburger every day? Don't be silly. If I did think the Garden story was a parable, that doesn't mean that I think all the stories are. How do you get to that reasoning? I also wasn't comparing the Garden story with Santa Claus and George Washington's cherry tree. I was tryng to make a point. One can teach, or convey truth using parables, metaphor, symbolism and a host of other literary tools. The use of these styles in no way validates or invalidates the truth of the message. The important part is the message. Now I think we are getting a little off topic here. The question still stands and I haven't seen any takers yet. Where in the Bible does it say anything about the Bible? How many books, which ones? how we are to determine that they are scripture? etc... Any takers? Oh, and Hank, take another look at the Garden story. There is some intersting things. Like for instance, God is walking and can't find them. What kind of God is that? He has leggs, and can't see through the trees. Also, what is the tree of knowledge of good and evil anyway? Tell me you think this is a literal tree and if we eat literal fruit from it we literally become like God. Oh, and the tree of life as well. If we eat from that tree we can live forever. Who needs Jesus, we can just eat form the tree. Or is Jesus the tree? Ooops. That was a clue. Second, the beasts and fowl were all created after Adam, where they were created before mankind in the first creation account. CONTRADICTION!!!!!!! Third, maybe you can take this as a homework assignment. What day was Adam created on? Wait.. it wasn't day six. The story tells us what day, and it definately wasn't day six. CONTRADICTION!!!! You see, the story doesn't hang together if it is literal. That is of course unless you just ignore what it really says. |
