Subject: Things people THINK in the BIBLE but not |
Bible Note: It is hermenueticaly sound to compare Paul (a first century Pharisee living in Jerusalem with other Pharisees) with Josephus (a first century Pharisee living in Jerusalem with other Pharisees). Also, I aknowledge that if we don't understand "the literal creation," then we are lost without a foundation. However, the "litteral creation," as written by Moses, is viewed as alegorical by at least 2 direct sources, including the Author of Hebrews, and the historian and hebrew pharisee Josephus. It is also completely unreasonable to deny that appart from understanding of "the literal creation," that there is possibility of allegory designed specifically (and all scripture is "inspired") for our understanding. |
