[quote]Are you insinuating that teh Bible is a story and not an accurate one at that ... I believe the word for that is a "fiction", and that no one has seen your god ? Wow, that's a scoop.[/quote] well...yes and then no... In my bible history class I was enlighted in many things about scripture. The bible is a hand down book from genernations & generations of followers of the God of Moses/Abraham from around 1800 yrs ago. Its like a study guide to make faith richer. There are historical books, psalms, paraables and stories. Christ himself was a great story teller. And a good one at that. Using stories that were not true but told to make a point to his followers to make them understand a message that they could relate to. And the core of his story telling was always about love, fogiveness and undertanding one another. Was Jonah really in a whale for three days? Maybe, but I doubt it. More important is what the story points to or signifies in relation to the comming of Christ and his ministry. It is historical? Is the story of the sower who planted seeds on fertile ground true? Did Adam and Eve really bite an apple and what kind of apple? Green or red. Is it important to know what kind of apple it was. Do you see what I mean? If your looking for these kind issues to dispel truths your going about it the wrong way. The truth for Christians is the historical truth of Jesus and his message. This is the problem when persons try to take all of scripture in the literal sense for every verse or passage. This is not what the writers of the bible intended for us. It was never meant to be all of faith implemented and taught anyway. Christ was dead and risen 300 years before scripture was made avaibile to the learned and rich. Christ death did not reedeem us so we could make sure we had the right information in text. He died to save us for life eternal. He came to show us how to live by example and that is the most important part of scripture.
